Mike Jacobs

In 1968, a friend handed Mike Jacobs a rapidograph pen, and the line became his compass. He never studied process, only watched, listened, and followed. Echoes of Kandinsky, Léger, Davis, and Lindner, but mostly self knowledge move through his work like shifting light. His drawings begin as thought, then drift toward something more real: the hand chasing the mind, the mind chasing the line, the line chasing truth. The line leads, the color answers. It’s “Figuration Libre,”  #free figuration—a way of finding form in the unknown, of trusting what arrives. Lifelong New Yorker, Mike and family now reside in the Hudson Valley.
