Erik Jacobsen

Erik Jacobsen

2003An entire life's story in a single expression. Everyday gestures hinting at comic, yet somehow tragic personalities. Even a quick look reveals subtleties like these in Erik Jacobsen’s vital and oftentimes peculiar characters. Using a person’s body to offer a glimpse into their state of mind, Erik creates figures that suggest such a personal history and depth of feeling that you can’t help but want to know more about them, and him.

“I see my characters as real people, full of imperfections, having real interactions. Through them, I try to have a conversation with everyone who sees my work. It’s more than just looking at art. It’s a kind of relationship.”

Erik also happens to be an amazing chef and quite an impressive yoga practitioner, as well as an all around great guy. He is currently a regular exhibitor at Hang Art gallery in San Francisco.
