Article Art Aurea Magazine 1 - 2012
The Belgian Artist currently lives and works in Luxembourg.
After studying Monumental Arts in Ghent and earning
her master's degree in the discipline of glass in
Antwerp, she began to devote her efforts to art in series.
Although her large, squared, upwardly opening bowls of float
glass on round stands could be used like objects of industrial
design, each one's indivualized color makes it unique, yet unites
them all under one shared title. Camille Jacobs uses the silkscreen
method to apply primary colors to large areas of the glass, sprays
them to blur the edges, layers one primary color over another to
create secondary colors and melts the hues into the layers of glass.
If the vitreous slab is bent into the shape of a bowl,the colored
fields conform to the gentle curvature of the vessel, following
its form or running contrary to it, creating a three-dimensional
colored composition with light and vibrating brilliance.
The values of the chromatic arrangement vary in each piece in the
series so that the contrasts change, as if Jacobs were experimenting
with the theory of colors. The surfaces are distinguished by
soft differences, but a view from the side finds sharply cut
oppositions between interior and exterior, for example red in front
of blue or yellow in front of purple. Multiple kaleidoscopes of
enrapturing and cheerful beauty appear when one rotates this uniformly
shaped bowls. Wherever her pieces are shown, their playful variation of
generously proportioned colored bodies evokes enthousiasm.
Camille Jacobs was honored for her artistic
achievements in Kanazawa, Japan 2010.
