Martin Jacobson - Selected Works, 2013-2023

Martin Jacobson has become well-known for his theatrical motifs where diverse, visual references intermingle in his search for an image that feels as if it was discovered rather than made by him. He collects images for a personal archive that has expanded into thousands of analogue and digital files over the years, with the aim to gather images seemingly saturated with collective memories and references. These images are then composed into collages that serve as foundations for his paintings, where the familiar takes on a new shape and the unknown can still appear familiar, even giving the feeling of having returned home.
