New Surface Research - Henri Jacobs

Henri Jacobs’ artistic exploration of two-dimensionality takes center stage in this stunning collection of works. Investigating the flat, recto-verso nature of surfaces, the Brussels-based artist creates plaited paintings, murals, brickwork, wall hangings, ceramic objects, and intricate drawings. Through diverse techniques, Jacobs blurs the boundaries between image, pattern, texture, and structure.

A highlight of his practice is the weaving of paper, where old and new works—or figurative and geometric images—merge into two-sided, two-dimensional surfaces that are as much art objects as they are visual puzzles. This book offers a compelling insight into Jacobs’ unique artistic vision, making it a must-have for lovers of contemporary art and experimental techniques.
