Quotes about my Paintings

Rick Jacobi, Bird Brain, 24" x 30", acrylic on canvas panel, 2017



















Quotes from other people about my work:

On my painting "Deus Arcanum": "That piece is a cool mystical cartoon surreal alchemical opus. Well done. Applause, applause!"
-- Alex Grey

"Your art seems to exist on a wonderfully fuzzy line between a kind of controlled psychedelia and a sublime divine pattern organization."
-- Lewis Saul

On my painting "The Oracle": "Disturbingly fascinating, amazingly grotesque, yet utterly elegant."
-- Gwen Carr

"Rick, your art is spectacular-- divined, a calling from another universe, a deep place."
-- Skip Davis

"Rick Jacobi’s unique artistic voice resounds far above the ubiquitous chorus of psychedelic monotony and meaningless abstraction. His deep affinity with the ancient mysteries emerges in a most delectable way through his vibrant palette and fine technique. For every step the deconstructionists took toward abandoning decency and forsaking technique, Rick takes 10 steps closer to honesty and attention to detail. He elucidates our strange predicament on this strange planet and his critically important imagery challenges his admirers and peers alike."
