Since Danish sculptor Carl Emil Jacobsen (b. 1987) graduated from Kolding School of Design in 2012, his practice has oscillated between art and design, exploring existentialism, ritualistic sophistication and solid craftsmanship. Working with found materials such as field stones, chalkstone, marble and bricks from demolished buildings, Carl Emil Jacobsen transforms massive stones into fine powder pigments of intense colours.
Carl Emil Jacobsen’s works have been exhibited in various museums, galleries and art fairs, including Clay Museum of Ceramic Art, Denmark; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; Mindcraft Exhibition; Milan, Patrick Parrish Gallery, New York; Chamber Gallery, New York; Piscine, Aarhus; Galerie Maria Wettergren, Paris; Design Miami/Basel; PAD London/Paris. His works can be found in the collection of the Danish Arts Foundation as well as prestigious private collections worldwide.
