Jakob Steen (born in Cambridge, England, 1986) is an experimenting visual artist working across multiple disciplines and media. He is self-taught and works with an intuitive approach carried by impulses, thoughts and artistic investigations. Steen debuted in 2018 with his first solo show Om Mani Padme at Collaborations by Tania & Thomas Asbæk, and has since contributed works to both solo and group exhibitions at Bricks Gallery.  The artist lives and works in Præstø, Denmark

Style

Steen’s work exists in a space between the figurative and abstract painting. In his work, a certain contact is established between the physical realm and a cosmic energy. Light and space are key elements in his practice, which is explored through a vibrant color palette and curiosity towards the materials he works with. His works often depict abundant landscapes and natural elements with recognizable silhouettes morphed into creating new meanings.  

Medium

Jakob Steen works mainly with painting, sculpture and prints. For his paint, he typically mixes raw pigments with fish glue. The artworks presented on this page are both screen prints, which you can read more about here, as well as giclée prints which can be found here.
