Jacobs creates his pseudoscientific dioramas using paper, styrene, acrylic, vinyl, neoprene, wax, and hair, among other materials, viewing them through lenses as he works, using tweezers and brushes. Alternatively, one might be confronted by a diminutive prewar apartment in all its grungy glory, complete with chipped tile, flaking baseboards, and toothpick-thin parquet floors. His hyperrealistic environments are lit from within when viewed through their glass portholes, they reveal themselves to be luminous landscapes, overflowing with lush grasses, flowers, and mushrooms against the backdrop of a meandering river or mountain scene. Patrick Jacobs’ work blurs the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and photography, using lenses, optical focal length, and sculptural foreshortening to achieve the illusion of impossible depth within the shallow, often miniscule spaces that his miniature worlds inhabit.
