CLOSENESS FLOW
POLYTONAL SERIES
ECO AWARE, VEGAN ART
From my Polytonal Series, eco aware mixed media, ink, concrete, acrylic painting on broken, worn wood, with hanger system, ready to hang.
This is a high quality original painting, handmade by Jacob von Sternberg, currently available, please enquire.
(Please note, this piece might be sold through our galleries shortly, if you love Jacob's very unique piece, please enquire early, so that we can reserve it for you for a limited time frame. Thank you deeply!)
Having lived in different countries of the world, I have been enriched by various cultures that are informing the way I create my art. As I apply layers upon layers of paint on the canvas, I use my application tools that I have developed myself and my fingers to shape each piece as a unique expression of my life experiences and research. I need to feel the paint, smell, touch, to absorb it in a very meditative like way.
My art is eco aware and created mostly with vegan art supplies. My art is made in absolute awareness of limited global resources. Because life matters!
We are a part of nature and a part of the cycle. Even if it seems to us as if "humans are subjugating nature", we are strongly dependent on it. Our interference with nature has tangible consequences for our everyday lives. Many of them are already foreseeable today. Therefore it all the more important to act now. And even small changes in everyday life help to protect nature and act in a forward-looking way.
Jacob's original approach of reusing wherever possible has consciously evolved into his very own artistic style as part of his artistic development. As an experimental artist, Jacob loves to explore new techniques for himself and to use materials that were previously unusable, unexplored or forgotten.
Quote from douplecheckvegan.com:
"Art supplies have traditionally used many ingredients from slaughtered or trapped animals. For example, paints, mediums, and even papers may contain bone char, gelatin, ox gall, rabbit collagen, eggs, carmine, and shellac. Natural paintbrushes are made from the hair of sables, pigs, and squirrels.
Many higher end art supply companies use animal ingredients because these companies have been around in some cases for hundreds of years and use traditional recipes. But traditional doesn’t necessarily mean better. As you’ll see in this list, vegan art supplies are available in both student and professional grades.
A good artist can make do with whatever tools are available.
It’s up to all of us who believe that animals shouldn’t suffer so we can express ourselves, to use our consumer power to support vegan products, and to effect change. Not only can we make sure we only purchase vegan art supplies, but we can also contact companies and let them know there’s consumer demand." end quote
Jacob's Contribution:
"I upcycle, reuse and repurpose. It took some time to switch completely to vegan art supplies and research each product or to create an alternative where needed. But it's possible and I would love to encourage every artist to reflect on that. In my eyes it is not only important what energies my paintings carry into the world, but also to protect life and nature whenever possible!
I love to break wood panels into pieces and paint on them afterwards. I have no control of the format, shape, and no control of the edges. - this way I transform the destructive energy into something beautiful. I don't hide the broken edges, don't cover imperfection. Imperfection is a vital part of life. This was the inspiration for my polytonal art series. My research and studies for my polytonal art differs dramatically from my other series.
I have suffered from violence and transformed all what has happened to me, over the time, into love. As long there is love in our hearts, we all have it in our hands ... it's deep in our hearts."
Many of Jacob's polytonal paintings have a sculptural character. Multiple levels of information result from the inclusion of the broken edges of the wood in the overall composition. With appropriate illumination, a further level is added by the deliberately staged play of the resulting shadows.
