Dagmar de Pooter Gallery
Antwerp, , BE Belgium

The Dagmar de Pooter Gallery in Antwerp presents Exile: Frie J.Jacobs. The work of Frie J. Jacobs (1957 Belgium), grows from the idea of physical connection with the world around us. To see is to feel. A world which is essentially incomprehensible, we dont know where we come from and where we go to. So, he makes physical works with fire and soot, plants and moss, charcoal and rain, but also he uses photography, digital printing, projections or even video.

He paints like a painter without paint...Its always pure poetry.   Dagmar De Pooter presents the Exile Project: in this work one can realize its not the imitation of a world. Its just the natural reality what we see, but in a way it remembers us at an indefinable desire to an origin we do not understand. Exile means banishment. Those series collect rough images of nature. The photos show very intense and subtle images. A sort of banished physical memory which brings back the spectator to a lost source.

The Dagmer de Pooter Gallery promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com. View more works by Frie J. Jacobs and other gallery artsits at: http://galleries.absolutearts.com/ddepooter/
