Andréhn-Schiptjenko

At Market Art Fair 2023, Andréhn-Schiptjenko is delighted to present a solo presentation with Martin Jacobson where he will exhibit his most recent work.

Starting with existing images on archetypal motifs and themes such as sunsets, forests, mythological images and architectural forms and then recombining these elements, Martin Jacobson creates new motifs, often in stark and an almost unreal range of colours. Interpreting these originals is a way for Jacobson to create an image that is both new and old, familiar and unknown. A concentrate of light- and colour-phenomena, cultural references and emotional reactions take place in a scenographic world where, just as on stage, fiction and reality meet and the double nature of beauty is allowed to be both seductive and repulsive.

Martin Jacobson (b. 1978, Sweden) has since his graduation from Malmö Art Academy (Malmö, Sweden) in 2005 been exhibited at numerous solo and group exhibitions, both in Scandinavia and internationally. Recent projects include a set design with monumentally scaled paintings, made for a stage show originally, presented at Wanås Konst in Sweden and an extensive solo exhibition at Vandalorum (Värnamo, Sweden).
