In John Jacobsmeyer’s parallel reality, pop culture and art history collide with the background of his suburban youth. In his third solo show at the Poulsen Gallery, titled “Locus colossus,” he offers new paintings and Linocuts with these shocking blends. The show lasts until February 15 in the Denmark location. (Jacobsmeyer appeared on our website for the last time.)
“[He] Growing up in a suburban community, local highways and subdivisions left only an oasis of timber lots, he and other children would build clubs from waste bakery and invent dangerous games involving tree climbing and firecrackers. But he slowly grew into something in neglected nature, seeing some twisty geometric shape between trees or between rock outcrops. HP Lovecraft’s creepy novel inspired him to see this. This is in the work of Max Klinger, and this everyday absurdity becomes a fable. ”
