Artist Statement for Arthur Jacob
|
|
|
"Arthur Jacob tests the limits of photography, deconstructing reality in swirling patterns and a spectrum of glowing colors that render the known world mysteriously new."
Ed McCormack, Managing Editor, Gallery & Studio Magazine, New York, NY Sept./Oct., 2006
“Through the mastery of technical means, Arthur Jacob reinvents the living and characterizes it; demonstrating the reality through warm colors . . . inviting us to pure participation of the extension he exercises in his art.”
Emanuela Catalano, Dott. Prof. Storica dell ‘ArteDocente di Storica dell ‘Arte e conservazione
dei Beni Cuturali, Florence, Italy, 2008
About My Work
Harold Rosenberg defined the Abstract Expressionist’s canvas as an “arena to act in.” My intent is to give the observer the knowledge of what the real life image is, and then through abstraction and reconstruction of that image, invite the observer to act in that arena; and to explore the infinite possibilities that each abstraction and reconstruction presents. The use of color, form and balance reveal much about me as an artist and person. Color depicts emotions. Lines, that are either gently wavy or sharply spiked, become the attitude in my work.
My new work is a departure from my reconstruction photographs of the past. Gone are the bold, sometimes harsh, lines of the Building Series with its almost cubist configurations. Also missing are the “in your face” colors from recent abstracts. It ushers in a new, more introspective vision. Individually they are beautifully orchestrated prisms of soft color. Collectively they represent a psyche transformed. Whether the work symbolizes a break from the urban chaos and glitz of Las Vegas, where I have done a good part of my work or a similar inner journey, my work has reached a plane where the beauty of pure abstract has taken the place of the reconstruction aspects of my photographs. Whereas in the past I have asked the observer to reconstruct the images, I now asks them to relate on an emotional, even a physical level, to the softer colors and lines.
