SmartistJacob Hess (@jacobhess) intricately merges figurative and abstract styles to create dynamic, highly textured mixed-media works. By working with broken sheetrock and meticulously cutting into every inch of his pieces, Hess intentionally leaves the door open for human error. Drawing influence from artists like Frank Stella and Kandinsky, he combines distinct color palettes, jagged lines, and varied materials to symbolize the fragmented, yet beautiful, journey of breaking through life’s darkest moments. #smartist #smartistapp #abstractart #contemporaryart #processvideo
