Gerda Jacobs not only uses natural materials like marble, granite, slate, but also "recyclable" materials like: zinc, metal, nails, wire etc. She gives a new meaning and a new life to these apparently worthless second hand materials. She combines these materials, and by using them together, develops the expression and depth that signifies her art. The contrast between the material and the open spaces create a tension in her work, in which balance and accuracy are a dominant factor. Colours play a subordinate role – (she prefers neutral colours like white, grey and black), which means that vivid colours do not detract from the essence of her work. After all, neither the reality, nor the appearance of a function are important, but rather the ability to be open to new possibilities. This gives the impressions that lead to the ambiance of silence, so often lost

France
Gerda Jacobs was born, raised, and educated in the Netherlands, but since 1985, she lives in France. “All things have their beauty, but not everyone can see them” - Confucius. Bringing this beauty to light is the precept adopted by Gerda Jacobs for her artistic activity. She is a visual artist, who lives and works in the south of Touraine. Gerda is continuously searching for new possibilities of expression, pushing her own limits, looking for new types of material to use in her work. She works in an abstract way, using ordinary materials, without any artistic designation such as zinc or concrete.... Raw materials that can seem tough and emotionless to which she gives new meaning and direction. She wants to highlight their sensitivity. Gerda directs us to what surrounds us, to the things that we so often pass by without noticing and without even looking at. Her work plays with the contrasts between materials and spaces, creating tension, suggesting movements, symbolizing purity, beauty and freedom. She has developed a very personal technique, drawing inspiration from engravers, using acid on zinc plates. She imposes her designs on the material, but the material also interacts in its own way. Her colour palette is deliberately limited, preferring black and white tones, thus favouring form and composition. The viewer is not influenced by colour and is facing purely material and impression. Between pure abstraction and figuration, her work refers to a contemplative and serene vision of the world.
