Description

Life magazine cover. Things going wrong. Our covenant with medicine. An unforeseen destiny. Imagined cover art. Life magazine promised much, but didn’t always deliver. This issue certainly did: all about the ‘lovebug’ – you may need to look it up. Also contained a colour section on ‘God in Moscow,’ with rare photographs of the deity.
Narrative art, inspired by the possibilities inherent in visual poetry and photomontage, and designed to take you into an unsettling zone of the imagination. The story is there right in front of you, but to the extent that the art is successful, it should be hard to say exactly what it all means: at best it represents an impenetrable sequence of events, and an imaginative enigma.
My works are portals to strange and disturbing worlds which cannot be reached any other way.

Concept

ART especially for those who genuinely understand CONTEMPORARY ART, and take ART seriously. And if you don't - then please read my books and magazine articles. Jakob Zaaiman's art is about discovering - and then revealing - the strange and disturbing hidden in the everyday and in the ordinary. From this point of view, everything else in art is either merely decorative or inconsequential. The strange and disturbing is where art has its true power to fascinate and enthrall.

He works mainly with photographs, some of them his own, and some found. These he works into digital collages. Each artwork is designed to house its own difficult but unsettling narrative; sometimes self-contained, sometimes reaching out to realms beyond itself. He likes to ‘mine’ a subject over time, returning to it now and then to see if he can find some other disconcerting angle to explore.

Jakob Zaaiman also write extensively on modern art:
