Bert Jacobs (5)

Bert Jacobs {b.1987, Turnhout, Belgium} is a multi-disciplinary artist working in the field of installation-art, sculptures, drawings, prints, multiples and editions who lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. In between his artist projects and collaborations he dismantles the border between life and work. Jacobs experiments with playful interventions inside his own house. A DIY sauna constructed in the attic and windows covered with colorful foil in geometrical shapes exemplify the way Jacobs' artistic output infiltrates his everyday life. His experiences as a theatre cook, hobbyist gardener and beekeeper, find their way back into his more easily recognizable artistic output that often deals explicitly with the relation between humans and the space that surrounds them, particularly nature.
