ANGELES JACOBI (*1989, Buenos Aires, Argentina)

​

Angeles Jacobi, an emerging artist coming from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and now sharing her time between Buenos Aires and Berlin, discovered her unique approach to art through a simple mistake while embroidering—an error that led her to backtrack, to unravel her work.

​

The act of unraveling, the feeling of going back in her embroidery, fascinated her. It's this fascination that now defines her art—gradually unraveling her own creations. Jacobi's chosen mediums are textiles, embroidery, and weaving, and her signature technique involves slowly unveiling her work, exposing hidden stories and symbols.

In her time as an artist, Jacobi has already made an impact. Her art has been displayed in both solo and group exhibitions, earning her recognition. Notable among her exhibitions is the solo showcase 'Sobre Limites y Fronteras' at Uno + Uno in Buenos Aires, where her pieces resonated with viewers. Additionally, Jacobi's distinct vision has secured her a place in the group show at Museo de la Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, as part of the esteemed BIENAL SUR, marking her as an emerging talent in the global art community.

​

Jacobi's art invites viewers to explore the intricacies of life, contemplate the passage of time, and consider the fusion of traditional wisdom with contemporary creativity. Each artwork serves as a narrative thread, connecting the past with the future. Her journey, initiated by a simple mistake, emphasises the unexpected wellspring of inspiration that can be found in the creative process.
