Jacobsen
Paul Jacobsen uses everyday objects, such as chairs, cars, airplanes,
trains, motorcycles and puzzles, all built from scratch, and
turns them into haunting and very desirable works of art. Among
his most famous works are the Adirondack Chair series, which
has won him acceptance and recognition. The Adirondack chair
fascinates Jacobsen, bringing recollections of summer beaches,
color, and warmth.
“The chairs themselves are just a vehicle to paint
on. Paint does all sorts of wonderful things to these chairs.
Color is what is really important to me,” says Paul
Jacobsen. The artist who now resides in Colorado is a transplanted
New Yorker. He first introduced his chairs in 1990 and they
have a tremendous emotional appeal, creating nostalgia for
a past era in our contemporary world.
His work has recently expanded to include incredible replicas
of classic cars, which are being met with great success.
Paul currently resides in Glenwood Springs, Colorado and
is always on the look-out for new ways to capture our attention
and our imagination
