Sjer Jacobs

“I expose my own reality, often it is not a single, identifiable person.  It’s a merge of different people.  It’s not the perfect resemblance, but the mirror I hold up to myself and the spectators.  And importantly, spectators don’t have a passive role in this – They should not only look at my figures, but engage a dialogue and create a new reality”.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Since the moment he could hold a pencil Sjer Jacobs wanted to be an artist.  Jacobs was born and raised in Tegelen, Netherlands. In all his paintings and sculpture, there is a certain stirring of the emotions.  It is through these emotions that he communicates with the spectator.

Sjer Jacobs’ inspiration is human beings :everyday people, how they look and how they behave, their attitude, glances and clothes. 

Sjer Jacobs (1963) was born and raised in the city of Tegelen, in the southern part of the Netherlands-The city where he currently lives and works. He obtained an art degree in the city of Sittard and continued his studies at the Municipal Academy of Maastricht.
