Sjer Jacobs has developed a unique, immediately recognizable style over the years. Jacobs derives the theme of his work from the actions of humanity. He studies the people around him almost every day for inspiration. He is fascinated by people, their faces, their postures, their non-verbal behavior and their reactions to each other. He stores those facial expressions in his memory, gets to work with them and creates his own people: humorous, disarming and endearing. He has a keen eye for details such as a specific hand gesture or a glance. 'Faces and hands in particular show what people are doing. Postures, hands, faces best express how people feel. It is not without reason that these are important elements in my work," says Sjer. He depicts people in their daily lives. However, his human figures are an abstracted amalgamation of several people that he has observed. 'It is not about the perfect likeness, but about the mirror that I want to hold up to myself and others. The viewers do not have a passive role in this. They have to conjure up their own images in addition to my images. They should not only look at my images, but enter into a dialogue with them, as it were, and thus create a new reality.'
