Atis Jakobsons

By merging the boundaries between a subject and an object, the impossible and common, humane and divine, the reality and the idea, Atis Jākobsons searches for a manner of showing the primaeval nonexistence.
Through painting, charcoal drawing, video and installation the artist creates delicate planes. Thus, catching the space that exists beyond.
