About The Artwork
This cooperative pig with a built-in chip is able to perform a number of tasks, within a new farm model. Size: 50 x 65 cm (19.7" x 25.6") Finished January 2015 Painting for sale: Acrylic on Canvas Background story This large happy pig is busy with his work on the farm. That the subject of this painting concerns an idea about the future, is clear, but what does this pig “actually” do. It is a male, also called bear. A completely misguided name for a large pale pink mammal. In theory there should also be “pink” brown bears. This pig's job is to get food for his colleagues, the cattle, on the farm. The cattle cannot do this themselves. They could, but they are not designed that way, unlike this pleasant pig with a shovel. In itself a tattoo would suit him. (Two crossed corn cobs and an anchor? "Hope for good food again and again.") On the outside it is not too bad, but this animal is heavily adapted, modified according to the latest technologies. Its undercarriage, the chassis of a second-hand tractor (cost aspect), is integrated. The highly efficient, heavily patented motor uses some of the animal's original body functions. This becomes especially clear at the back. Where manure and (positive climate-supporting) exhaust gases leave the animal with great ease. The pig is going to get a scoop of high-efficiency organic chop. It's coffee time and the cattle are in for it. During its ride on the road, the shovel shakes a little with every bump. That feels old-fashioned. Not everything will be different in the future. We can also see this from the fence where the animal passes. Or is this fence made of the most modern, but wood-like, “state of the art” composite material? Does that also apply to the grass and trees? It could be. The chip in the pig ensures that he continues calmly and is happy with his job.

Jan Jacobs has been working on his new painting oeuvre since 2014. His paintings arise from his vision of the future, in which other, new forms occur. Yet he can count himself among the modern realists. He is fascinated by the influence of technology on the many facets of our existence. His subjects are about situations in space or on earth with automatic devices, spacecraft, people, animals and mutants painted entirely according to his own vision. For a long time he already had ideas about this future, but how do you transform them into a concrete drawing or painting? He often goes to museums to look at beautiful paintings. The paintings tell him a lot about the way in which a painting result is achieved, real and not real, as in real reality. With Jan Jacobs, paintings arise from powerful images and thoughts that come to him, which he must first allow to happen and which can happen to him at the most unexpected moments. In the office, as an employee of a technical wholesaler, during a telephone conversation with a customer, he can suddenly have an image attack and he then must ensure that the customer does not notice it. Creatures, robots, machines pass by in a colorful procession. Behind the drawing board it is a lot of fun to work out those ideas. They are drawings and notes together on the same sheet of paper. Then he begins with his painting. Since 2014, to his great relief, there has been more structure and clarity in his work and he is able to handle all this form information much better. His oeuvre grows and grows, now that he can place his own storm of images on paper and on canvas.
