ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Marking Time is a series of readymades, found on the street. Rust, wear and tear and defacement have all added to the texture of the materials and to the narrative behind them. The series is a reflection of JakBox’s wider interest in the urban environment. Their input into these pieces is in the selection of the objects, based purely on textural interest. Each suggests visual connotations to styles of artwork - some may look like abstract paintings, others like landscapes. By giving the objects a new purpose, by reimagining and reassembling them, JakBox asks the viewer to reconsider them in this new context. We are made to see them afresh, to make different associations and interpretations of these objects, once discarded as trash on the urban landscape. This piece is currently framed, please enquire for un-framing.

Created in 2013 in a coffee shop in Camden, JakBox is the artistic lab of Simon Williams, and operates like a box from which his visions jump out. JakBox’s creativity and artistic ideas date back to Simon’s studies in architecture, his debut as a talented pavement artist, alongside the development and running of long- established, and highly respected graphic design studio, Feast Creative. Feast were recently responsible for creating the world-renowned Harry Potter and the Cursed Child graphic image. JakBox is the culmination of some thirty years of witty observations, thoughts and experiences in many different art forms. The past three years have seen numerous creations, exhibitions in galleries and art fairs as well as TV interviews and local authority commissions. JakBox brings to the public playful and bright insight, amongst others, into the urban environment and commentaries on the contemporary art market, or through bodies of works succeeding one another like a chain of moments in life. Each line of work has its own identity but they are all linked together by notions and conceptual spaces that Simon asks the viewer to explore through different ways to look at the same, the overseen, whilst being all wrapped in the ticking clock of the 'Days To Go' in a world ruled by money, life-cycle and the market rules. Simon is a forward-thinking artist, whose gutsy concepts are expressed through accidental aesthetic artworks giving us an invitation to watch moments of life through his eyes. He is, step by step, establishing his home in the art world. This is JakBox. Please ask for the full 'JakBox Presents' at See more at:
