Jon Jacobsen

A question about space and time was enough for Jon Jacobsen to create a universe of his own.
Self-taught, his work contains graphic, narrative images utilizing symbolism and the surreal through a mix of photography, digital art, illustration and filmmaking.

With two solo shows and several participations in exhibitions and Fashion Film Festivals, he has directed projects for London and New York Fashion Week, music campaigns and fashion editorials; and has been acknowledged by magazines around the world for his approach to the human body as a connector between the real and fantasy.

He was part of the show “Contemporary Young Artists” at the Visual Arts Museum (MAVI) in Chile, and was chosen to debut his work at the first edition of PLAY at PULSE Contemporary in Miami, during Art Basel Week.

Jacobsen was an artist-in-residence at SHOWstudio (UK) receiving mentorship from its founder and director
Nick Knight, and sponsor support by the British Council.
