A natural born artist and sculptor, contemporary artist, Jakob Straume explores in moving and vivid color, the topography of his soul.
Inspired by the Scandinavian landscape of his Nordic ancestry, Jakob’s early work breathes new life into the retro futurism and Asian influence of the early 80’s,
as he translates his experiences through sculpted metal and acrylic on canvas.
Forming his art from the emotional sediment of his life
His bold and meticulous knife strokes build texture, layer upon layer
Mixing, merging, and melding color into a metamorphic result
With tempestuous heat and pressure, Jakob expresses an understanding of universal structure, balance, and beauty..
and the human desire to contain it.
