Description

Portuguese Catholics, as I understand it. The local church gave my neighbour a tin of Chinese sardines for Christmas. They said it was not only full of meaty goodness, but also of Christian symbolism. Fine by me, but it’s not my affair. Turns out it’s not what you see, it’s what you make of what you see, insofar as there is a difference between the two. Krishnamurti could probably help us distinguish the false from the false, if he were still alive.

[Notes] My works are portals to strange and disturbing worlds which cannot be reached any other way. [For a more detailed explanation please check my writings online and videos on Youtube.]
[All artworks are printed on archive quality oyster paper and then professionally framed, with reinforced backing and museum standard acrylic/Perspex. The framing of the larger works alone costs around $2k. I personally supervise the production of each one.]

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:
