About the exhibition
Fifteen years ago, Arthur Jacob began his creative journey. Before that, he created portfolios for dancers and a vibrant range of entertainers in Las Vegas.
His art invites viewers to pause and uncover the hidden beauty woven through everyday life, revealing how even the smallest details can become something extraordinary. At times, his work takes on abstract forms, playfully encouraging viewers to unravel their secrets.
Arthur Jacob transforms the overlooked rhythms of urban life into vivid abstract impressions, revealing beauty where others might see only the ordinary.
Arthur’s creative journey includes numerous distinctions, from winning Best in Show for “Pictures in Progress” at the Naples regional arts center to receiving an Award of Excellence and presenting his work in juried online exhibitions with Manhattan Arts International.
His work has earned three awards from the Medial Museum in London and won the Cover Competition for Art & Beyond magazine’s Winter/Spring issue. His artwork has also appeared on television in HGTV’s “Million Dollar Homes.”
Arthur’s work has been featured in Luxe Beat Magazine’s “Art in Full Bloom” in New York City, “More Colors Than the Rainbow” in ArtLA Online Magazine in Santa Monica, and Professional Artist magazine.
Beyond his own practice, Arthur has contributed to the creative community as a board member of the Las Vegas Contemporary Arts Collective and the Southwest Oregon Art Museum. He has also served as a juror for online photography competitions and exhibitions.
Arthur Jacob currently lives and works in Cape Coral, Florida.
