Cogs, Butterflies, Knot by Jakob Belbin

Garbos Gallery situated within Garbos Hair Salon on Albert Road has been running since October 2010. Currently on show is Cogs, Butterflies, Knot by Jakob Belbin. Here is a bit about Jakob’s work

Jacob describes himself and his art as “I need art. Art impacts on every aspect of my life, I am always aware of it and it’s something I constantly think about. I think about it when I see the mundane and unnoticed happenings of my world; like when I look out of my window and see strangers glued to the same patch of road, when I see a pigeon idly pecking the ground for sustenance, and is brushed aside by an unsympathetic commuter. I see art when another tasteless advert steals my attention in the vain attempt to sell me trash I don’t need. I can see it in the suspended wires above our heads carrying idle conversations, and in the decay of another flat hedgehog caught in the cross fire. I see it in the mirror every morning. And, I also feel it in conversation or equally the lack of. In spite of these influences I feel it most when I am uncomfortable.”

Jakob work can be seen at Garbos Gallery till the end of November. Jakob can be contacted via his website.
