Oliver Lee Jackson
(b. 1935)
 
Oliver Lee Jackson is an American painter, sculptor, draftsman, and printmaker whose studio is in Oakland, California.
Jackson was affiliated with the multidisciplinary arts collective Black Artists Group (BAG) in St. Louis through his close friendship with BAG co-founder Julius Hemphill, though he was not an official BAG member. BAG was founded by musicians, theater artists, dancers and visual artists as a support structure for creative expression among African American artists, and in order to have a greater place in the cultural landscape.
