Jacob Everett – Lot No #4
From a distance Jacob's work appears simple and clear cut but as you look closer, each portrait takes on a new life of lines and contours. With work focussed primarily on portraiture, from original large-scale drawings to screen printed adaptations, each portrait offers a stark exploration of the subject using one simple tool – a biro. Through furious working and reworking of areas of light and dark, patterns develop and emerge to reveal complex and permanent images.
