"Woodie Wagon Brooklyn Taxi" Sculpture by Paul Jacobsen

About the Item

Custom sculpture constructed of painted wood. Paul Jacobsen used everyday objects, such as chairs, cars, airplanes, trains, motorcycles and puzzles, all built from scratch and turns them into haunting and very desirable works of art. Among his most famous works are the Adirondack chair series, which has won him acceptance and recognition. The Adirondack chair fascinated Jacobsen, bringing recollections of summer beaches, color and warmth. “The chairs themselves are just a vehicle to paint on. Paint does all sorts of wonderful things to these chairs. Color is what is really important to me,” said Paul. The artist who last resided in Colorado was a transplanted New Yorker. He first introduced his chairs in 1990 and they have a tremendous emotional appeal, creating nostalgia for a past era in our contemporary world. His work has recently expanded to include incredible replicas of Classic cars, which are being met with great success. Paul's home for many years was in Glenwood Springs, Colorado and he was always on the look-out for new ways to capture our attention and our imagination.
