"LET IT BE" (2024):
LET IT BE, Sandrine Jacobson, 2024, oil on canvas, 36 x 36 in. / 91.44 x 91.44 cm.
"LET IT BE" is a striking 36 x 36-inch oil on canvas that embodies tranquility and the vast expanse of the ethereal landscape. Jacobson uses a blend of muted greens and blues to suggest a horizon swallowed by fog or perhaps the calm of the ocean at dawn. The gradation of color and the absence of definitive forms encourage the viewer to let go of concrete perceptions and embrace the ambiguity and peace that the painting proposes. This artwork serves as a meditation, inviting onlookers to project their emotions and thoughts onto the canvas.
"A THOUSAND MILES OF STILLNESS" (2024):
A THOUSAND MILES OF STILLNESS, Sandrine Jacobson, 2024, oil on canvas, 24 x 24 in. / 60.96 x 60.96 cm.
In "A THOUSAND MILES OF STILLNESS," Jacobson captures a 24 x 24-inch canvas with a harmonious blend of soft browns and whites, illustrating a serene, almost barren landscape. The title itself suggests a journey of introspection and solitude, mirrored by the gentle shifts in tone across the piece. The minimalistic approach strips down distractions, focusing the viewer’s attention on the subtle textural interplay and the profound silence that the painting echoes. This piece is a perfect representation of stillness as a form of movement, drawing the viewer into a contemplative state.
"I SIT, I SIT" (2024):
I SIT, I SIT, Sandrine Jacobson, 2024, oil on canvas, 20 x 20 in. / 50.8 x 50.8 cm.
"I SIT, I SIT" is a more intimate 20 x 20-inch work, where Jacobson explores the introspective quality of isolation through a purplish hue merged with shades of gray. The central glow suggests a moment of clarity or enlightenment, surrounded by the shadows of uncertainty or the fading light of dusk. This painting is introspective, encouraging the viewer to sit with their thoughts and emotions, mirroring the act of sitting reflected in the title. It’s an invitation to pause and reflect, both on the canvas and within oneself.
Sandrine Jacobson's artworks stand as silent yet powerful invitations to introspective journeys. Through "LET IT BE," "A THOUSAND MILES OF STILLNESS," and "I SIT, I SIT," she crafts spaces where silence speaks volumes and minimalism reveals layers of complexity. Her mastery in conveying profound emotions through subtle gradations of color and thoughtful compositions invites viewers to explore the quiet depths of their own experiences.
