Artist Randy Jacobs is best known for his layers and layers of acrylic texture. In the layers are stories often told in all kinds of color. Randy often uses music to drive the emotion of his signature style—warm, emotionally evocative images that are abstract, dreamy and calming, yet alive with intense colors. Randy's mediums cover the gamut—from acrylic to the mixed technics, inspired by spending time with Russia's Dmitry Sandjiev. He is always studying and researching new techniques which will lend themselves to his style. Randy's stories on canvas have resonated with audiences and buyers across the U.S. and throughout Europe. Jacobs started painting on the heels of the Pentagon tragedy and came to Texas to be near his family and pursue his painting. His love of texture and color have spilled onto his canvas. He now dedicates his works to one of a kind originals layering literally thousands of layers of paint and media to tell the stories of love and loss, hope and redemption and extravagant grace. Deep in the texture, he believes, our textures, lie our lights, very bright lights. Whatever he signs his name to, Randy continues to imbue his works with a certain and unique tempering. For Randy, it's all about finding the life and the light at every piece's center. Randy has found immense inspiration in the drawings of Hogarth and the painting of Jim Frederick. "When in the end you find that life is not all about us, it's about belonging to projects and stories much larger than us," he says. " I've learned from Phlip Johnson the importance of understanding how lucky we are to pursue our crafts, and from Sandjiev the opportunity to become new again."
