Jacob Kleyn
born 3-4-1952
in Amsterdam NL.

- Artists often claim a personal basis for their Art,
but JACOB KLEYN developed an uniquely private symbolism
based on personal traumatic experience(s).
He establishes a set of images and symbols which he uses to express and suggest strong , often complicated,
feelings. -


JACOB KLEYN is a sensitive artist.
Showing in his work a poignant concern for suffering Humanity.
Despite the fact that nowadays high prices are payed
for his work
he identified himself with the poor and created a sincere pose of Bohemianism.
He can do that because he experienced and endured such suffering himself.
Nothing in his work is artificial, all inessentials he eliminated.
Immediately recognizable, with a strong distinctly personal vision and signature.
His works appeal straight to our soul and supports the
emotional and psychological content extremely well.
