"Sprawled Upside Down! Funny Pictures by Gregory Jacobsen"
2002-08-16 until 2002-09-10
Zg Gallery
Chicago, IL, USA United States of America

Gregory Jacobsen’s work takes root where schadenfreude meets Sigmund Freud. He delights in the spectacle of failure and the triumph of the id. He is inspired by the interpretation of other people’s nightmares as he lovingly delineates every sebaceous pustule and hair sprouting carbuncle. Jacobsen knows that it is as hard to look away from his dystopic vision as it is to look at this parade of human tragedy.

Gregory Jacobsen’s paintings on panel and works on paper will be exhibited together in his first solo exhibition at Zg Gallery. He received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  Gregory Jacobsen is also a performance artist with the locally acclaimed collective “Lovely Little Girls” and has been awarded a 2000 Artist in Residence Grant from the Experimental Sound Studio.
