François Jacob

Surreal scenes and fantastic colors—in fall 2026, the Kunst­mu­seum Wolfsburg will host the first German insti­tu­tional solo exhibi­tion of Belgian painter François Jacob.

Still something of an insider tip, Jacob has enjoyed a high reputa­tion among collec­tors for years. His paintings reveal a thematic spectrum that lies somewhere between the suppo­sedly contem­porary and a timeless somewhere. His paintings demons­trate a high level of painterly skill and, on a motiva­tional level, raise more questions and puzzles than they offer answers. Even in times of great media abundance, François Jacob’s sensitive feel for delicate colors and color combi­na­tions proves to the viewer why
