ABOUT
In her oil and acrylic paintings Jana Jacob explores private spaces: the actual home, nudity, the private relationship between two people and the space behind the eyes. The artist likes to play with the role of the spectator: making him a secret observer or evoking a sense of ambiguity and irritation. Using a cold, sometimes sober palette, the artist explores different textures and surfaces. A keen interest in the language of gesture is evident, between two people or alone in their own homes, without posing for a perfect form.
In her latest oil paintings Jana Jacob designs a new reality that is composed of alienated everyday gestures and seemingly weightless objects/organisms into an absurd game of realities. Both subjects enter into a new relationship that allows a hybrid reading.
Born 1982 in Weingarten, Germany. Lives and works in Berlin.
Studies and diploma in liberal arts at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Stuttgart, Germany with professor Christian Jankowski and at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Paris-Cergy, France with professor Bernard Marcadé. Study visit at the Californian College of the Arts, San Francisco, USA and artist residency at the Lobot Gallery in Oakland, USA.
