Scroll over or click to zoom This piece was inspired by the Tower of Babel and how in the present day technology has enabled instant and ubiquitous communication all over the world. Within the tower form I use binary code, which is the universal language of technology, to create areas of texture. I also included observational drawings of microchip components that seemed evocative of cities or towers. The drawing is framed with a simple black frame and window cut mat. It is wired and ready to hang. The drawing itself is 17"x9" in size. - Jacob Rowan The Tower of Babel JACOB ROWAN Drawing artwork on bristol board Ready to hang One-of-a-kind Signed on front 2013 24" h x 16" w x .5" d 1 lbs. 0 oz. $425 SHIPS FREE ADD TO CART IN YOUR CART Add to Favorites Add to Registry Jacob Rowan Jackson, Mississippi Follow this Artist Unfollow this Artist Getting to Know Jacob Jacob Rowan typically begins each drawing with words in mind. He will read a poem or story that captures his attention over and over again, contemplating how to respond to it visually. He uses ink and graphite, and occasionally nontraditional materials such as coffee, to create his minimal abstract pieces. The work has the clean feel of a graphic novel, with illustrated spaces that resemble landscapes and architectural structures. There is also a science fiction quality to the drawings, with their desolate and void depictions of space, and geometric combinations of lines and shapes that feel like the face of a circuit board. The compositions have a wonderful sense of balance and motion. Each piece features a circular hinge as the focal point, on which the rest of the drawing rotates. Jacob’s work touches on the five senses–sight, sound, touch, and smell–distilling them down to a simple visual language. For instance, the work smells from the coffee grounds and pungent scent of the Sumi ink. The smell is gone when the pieces are framed, but Jacob says it stays in his memory as he creates the work. The notion of sound and how to represent it visually is also a theme in Jacob’s art, evident in the piece Chorus. Although the drawings are inspired by literature, the work stands alone to create its own narrative, told through its careful compositions, intimate sections of detail, and modern aesthetic.
