Welcome to the website of artist, John Jacobsmeyer. Below is a brief description of his life and activities. John is originally from New Hampshire. Since 2000 he has resided in Brooklyn, New York and teaches at the New York Academy ofArt in Tribeca, Manhattan. His Brooklyn studio in the neighborhood of Red Hook doubles as painting studio and printshop equipped with a proofpress and etching press for printing woodcuts and engravings. Since 2002, Jacobsmeyer has been working on an eighty page book of wood engravings and related paintings. The wood engravings are derived from a poem by South Carolina writer James Dickey. Jacobsmeyer's works in print and painting prior to this have been devoted to examining portraiture in the form of anamorphically distorted heads of influential figures in the artist's past. Jacobsmeyer's newest work, an example shown above, conflates a number of scenes and gestures from the history of cinema. The adjacent menu will take you to his varied works, and additional information. | |||||||||||||||
