About the Item
My paintings are designed to be conceptual and narrative based arrangements to stoke the imaginations of viewers. There is always something beyond the initial "muscle flexing" of realism. Props are my anthropomorphic characters acting out dramas on soda pop stages. I construct little dioramas and with oil on a brush I immortalize the activity. I work pretty hard to create still lifes that tend to be anything but still. By infusing inanimate objects with a personality, I am able to explore the human narrative outside of personal biases and leanings. In some ways, I think of myself as a director creating a play. The soda crates are my stage with apples, balloon dogs, and Oreos as my thespians. Act 1 is laid out for the viewer. But I stop there. I want my viewers to be compelled to wonder about Act II and Ill.
Often, even I find the resulting stories quite amusing. As a matter of fact, I enjoy using the taboo of humor in my paintings and take it as a challenge to create humorous works that have a lasting impact. My hope is that others get a smile or laugh too.

- October (4)By Paul JacobsenLocated in Denver, COIn "Outpost", Jacobsen’s new body of work records scenes from a year when societal boundaries where crossed and personal dreams set into motion. The paintings in this exhibition continue and expand on the ideas of Jacobsen’s 2014 exhibition, “Lean-to,” which featured artworks that invited viewers to contemplate still-life images of interiors from the artist’s domestic spaces and black and white arrangements from the artist’s workspace. While seemingly traditional still lives, the works served as the artist’s subtle critique of industrialized society. The content and technique speak to Jacobsen’s attempt to insulate himself from this very type of industrial environment and modernist influences. Jacobsen purchased a miner’s cabin in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado just prior to the legalization of marijuana, and the paintings in Outpost serve as documents of his experiments in growing this newly legal plant. In these still lifes, the marijuana plant is the central focus against a dark background, along with wild mushrooms collected on long hikes and crystals gifted from friends. These paintings hearken back to traditional Dutch paintings of tulips, itself a coveted plant in its day. Deploying the technique of lens flare, Jacobsen highlights the importance of the camera, while also referencing the religious, spiritual, and cultist motif of light symbolizing the divine. The usage of this “heavenly” light on these cannabis plants...Category
