ANDREW JACOB

Andrew Jacob is a New England based artist, surfer and explorer who draws inspiration from the ocean, nature, comic books, graffiti, 80’s horror films, 60’s psychedelia and television. His vibrantly colored paintings playfully translate ancient symbols into potent dreamscapes. Using bold lines, Jacob carves distinct forms into repetitive swaths of color and turns disparate patterns into recognizable icons. With deft compositional tension, his rhythmic icons are painted atop a background of explosive acrylic and enamel drips that lay bare the disorder from which order may emerge.
