AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original work by Jacob Kanbier
Mixed media on canvas
Hand-signed on the front side.
He was the son of Susanna Louise Plantfeber and Jacob Kanbier. Between 1970 and 1981 (divorce), he was married to Wilhelmina Christina de Mooij.
In 1985, he began his studies at the art academy in Amsterdam, but he was not attracted to art education, so he is largely self-taught. Kanbier is mainly inspired by Willem de Kooning and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Following these artists, he primarily creates 'rough' work in an 'explosive' creative process, called 'live-action painting.' He considers himself part of the neosymbolists.
He collaborated with related artists such as Justus Donker and Justus Dick Bakhuizen van den Brink, as well as Peter Klashorst's After Nature group. Later, Jacob was also a member of the Artists Collective, 'De Leidsche Mondialen,' founded by Dick Bakhuizen van den Brink.
In 1987, Kanbier held his first solo exhibition at Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden and performed in an 'action-painting show' at the Boulevard of Broken Dreams in Amsterdam. Herman Brood, Jules Deelder, and Simon Vinkenoog also participated. In 1989, he presented the Manifesto of Neosymbolism at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
Kanbier worked, after periods in Paris, Prague, and Friesland, in his hometown Leiden. His work is part of the art collections of, among others, Queen Juliana, Prince Willem-Alexander, the Senate building in The Hague, Museum De Lakenhal, Wim Kok, Hedy d'Ancona, and Felix Rottenberg.
