Every viewer familiar with the art of the last century should note the lack of sculptural forms based on landscapes. Los Angeles-based sculptor Jacci Den Hartog has successfully filled this niche. Her colored sculptures are reminiscent of acid rivers frozen in time and then suspended in mid-air for all to see.
Plucked out of its natural surroundings, the water in the author's sculptures ceases to be a dynamic and changing force, transforming into a fragment of a symbolic still life.
Jackie begins to create his sculptures by working with clay and transforming this material into rugged and raging intricate surfaces. After a while, the author painstakingly pours thin wax layers of colored polyurethane into silicone molds made from clay models. The end result is reminiscent of translucent and foaming streams and streams influenced by wind and sun.
Jackie Dan Hartog was born in Iowa in 1962. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
