About The Artwork

Situation painting of a possible way in which an asteroid can be mined in the future. The employees are having a break and take a breath of fresh air. Since there is an atmosphere but hardly any gravity, some of the people are upside down compared to the others. One can also protect each other from drifting too far apart by a sudden movement, a sneeze or a fart. The historical elements of the buildings contribute to the atmosphere. Background story Mining on an asteroid. The enigmatic constructions in this painting of this asteroid all have a function. The staff is on a break. A number of them are just outside. Some smoke an organic whole-grain cigarette. Others take a sip of Universe juice. As more construction companies settle on smaller planets, moons or asteroids, all kinds of new products, as well as liquid refreshments, can grow into an independent market segment, a study found. The two just completed panels on the front of this traveling rock will be called "deep-space photon collection screens" or something. People will laugh at the solar panels that we placed on our roofs. We, in turn, can also laugh about the history of the railways, for example. About photos of the first steam locomotives or the construction of the first rails. Historical turrets have also been built on this asteroid. They provide ambiance. That is important for its residents. Some turrets are upside down. Since the force of gravity is very low, this has not proved to be an obstacle for habitation or a visit: people are used to it. Half of the people that are having a break are upside down. Whoever is upside down is irrelevant in space. At this moment in the painting one group is having a break upside down compared to the other group, nothing more. That is a logical observation. Practically completely unimportant. The phrase, "Turning something upside down," has fallen out of use. As well as "Being over the moon", has become totally useless. Who does not go to the moon or a moon, one better ask. Discussing weighty matters at low gravity also turns out to be very disappointing in practice. There is no market for acrobats on an asteroid and fear of heights is a passed (space-) station. The big advantage of two short lines during the break is that no longer lines of people are formed. This could result in the risk of drifting properly into space. Nobody is waiting for that. The temperature in the vicinity of the asteroid also plays a role (around 20° C / 68 °F). Slightly further away it drops to unacceptable levels. Nobody likes to get cold. Horses are prohibited. These large animals disappear in no time like a dot in the distance. They weigh no more than an average handbag. The danger lies in the fact that because of their snoring and, indeed, because of their thunderous winds, they literally cannot be stopped. Equipment construction has boomed on this asteroid. Thanks to all this technology, a real forest has emerged. It can be seen that a meteorite once hit the stern. Geologists confirm earlier reports that this meteorite contains special metals. The asteroid's mined minerals are regularly retrieved by the Bezos-Musk missile. There are four snowy mountain tops, but more is needed for winter sports. The cloud formation alongside is excess moist air from one of the production processes. The painting was made at an interesting time. The asteroid passes a moon and overtakes one of the first satellites, robotic spacecraft. Incredibly slow things. But very nice. Since the asteroid still contains a lot of valuable material, a project has been started to make it steerable and thus keep it within the solar system. The construction of a nose cone is already underway and engines are on the way. There is not a lot of contact with the earth anymore. On average one WhatsApp message per month. The score is traditionally published at the end of the year. The people are laconically satisfied. Gravity may be low, but the atmosphere on this asteroid is very good.

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.
