Tongue as rudder Painting

King Jacob is a multidisciplinary self-taught artist from Enugu, Nigeria. Being diagnosed with dyslexia at early age aided his early exploration of painting as an alternative communication tool. By portraying these emotions on the canvas, the obstacles present in written language disappear. Since this early discovery Art has meant more than just an aesthetic representation; art creation to King Jacobs is advocacy, revolutionary, self and cultural representation, and economic. Through diverse forms of material expressions, such as fashion designing, handmade leather crafts, he creates mix media artworks which combines his artistic knowledge with his unique way of perceiving the world. King uses his art as a means to tell true stories. A key element in his artistic production is the quest to finding the right means to share personal experiences or experiences emanating from his immediate environment. King Jacob's paintings has been featured in many exhibitions around the world mainly through his collaborations with Satellites of Art and Saatchi Art. These collaborations has facilitated networks between King Jacobs and other world artists and collectors.
