About The Artwork

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me! anutu-studio@protonmail.com About the artwork: "Closeness Flow" Polytonal Art - Original Painting (Part of the Tokyo Echoes series - eco aware sculptural one-off painting on time worn wood, ready to hang with hanger included.) The unique artwork Closeness Flow is part of my Tokyo Echoes series, in which I trace my time in Japan. togetherness, closeness, floating, you, life, me, framing an endless flow The pursuit of truth in freedom, for freedom's sake - I lost, but was not defeated, grew stronger, became more aware, became more grateful. I won, but I am not a winner.“ JVS One result of Jacob’s artistic research: Polytonal Art Through the violent breaking of old time worn boards, which are marked by time, Jacob creates uncontrollable forms and edges. Violence is transformed into beauty. The tips of the edges appear like scars of the past, which are seamlessly integrated by Jacob into the narration. With the completion of the work, the past trauma is finally transformed into loving energy and the horrors of the past are released and no longer burden the soul. Jacob's polytonal paintings have a sculptural character. Multiple levels of information result from the inclusion of the broken edges of the wood in the overall composition. With appropriate illumination, a further level is added by the deliberately staged play of the resulting shadows. This sculptural, polytonal painting is ready for hanging. (hanging hardware included) All paintings are fully signed on the back. (If you wish an additional signature on the front, this is gladly possible on request, please provide a note when ordering). Fine high quality materials such Golden artist paint products are used. The official catalog raisonné number is always noted on the back. Likewise, the title and year of creation are recorded on the back. A certificate of authenticity is attached to each work and includes a list of used material. Kindly note: This painting is painted on a recycled mid century drawer panel and does not come framed, however the painting continues on the edges of the wood that already has a unique shape that frames the artwork. Therefore framing is not necessary or recommended. It is ready for hanging. Painting in pictures might not be perfectly to scale. Please contact me if you have any questions about this or any other one of my paintings! Sincerely, Jacob About the artist: „In order to see ourselves clearly in the here and now, it is important to understand why we had already made the decisions manifesting here, long before. It is not enough to look at the moment to understand what is happening. The sum of our decisions, made aeons ago, draw our collective reality (and our individual reality). Social conditions limit the unlimited space. The gene|rational memory is present to foster creativity in order to overcome the limits and restraints build by injustice and unfair social conditions. ‍ The pursuit of truth in freedom, for freedom's sake - I lost, but was not defeated, grew stronger, became more aware, became more grateful. I won, but I am not a winner.“ JVS Von Sternberg’s paintings appear as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, past and present fuse. Time and memory always play a key role. By emphasising aesthetics, he seduces the viewer into a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the stream of daily events. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate the human drama in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic meaning in everyday life. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, he investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination. His works establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence. By applying a poetic and often metaphorical language, he creates intense personal moments created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles. His works sometimes radiate a cold and latent violence. At times, disconcerting beauty emerges. The inherent visual seductiveness, along with the conciseness of the exhibitions, further complicates the reception of their manifold layers of meaning. © 2021 JVS Original Artwork - All rights reserved.

(Los Angeles, New York City, Long Island, Florida, Washington D.C., Chicago, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Ohio, and Cincinnati) "In my life there were very challenging experiences that have shaped my view of life itself. What remains is the love and kindness in my heart, which I cherish like a treasure. Whatever happens in life, the beat of our hearts decides the path. The essence of unity is reflected in my art. I travelled the world in search of my family and eventually achieved the healing of generations through my relentless search and longing to reunite my family on two continents. By nature I am actually rather shy and very sensitive. I love to support others. Love to speak about unity, about love, and all the wonders I witnessed on my journey around the world. I am grateful you are interested in my work. Art is my life. My work features small, medium, large and also extra large scale paintings on a very wide variety of surfaces. I use canvas, paper, wood, and several nonconventional surfaces such as time worn wood, vintage papers, and antique textiles, and metal findings that I have collected over the years during my travels. I often paint with tools that I have developed myself or use unconventional ones. At times I refuse to use brushes and painter's knives and use only things from everyday life in an adapted form to create my art. My sculptural works feature beach wood, textile surfaces in combination with colored resin, and a selection of antique findings.
