Greta Jakob

Greta Jakob is a painter who bridges mediums with an underlying interest in the fabrication of narrative. Ubiquitous materials and images in her work betray themselves as products of committed intention and construction, conjuring scenarios where encounters with the familiar turn newly sceptical. Playing with the extreme states of nature and construction, her work breaks down and reorganizes borrowed physical and conceptual material, synthesizing diverse subject matter into new states which assume conventional forms yet are absent of origin, a process which exposes the role of the artist as aggregator.
