Tobias Jacobsen（生于1992年）是一位居住在哥本哈根的视觉和概念艺术家。

他的工作室位于Vesterbro，他曾参与多个国际驻地项目和展览。Jacobsen由哥本哈根的De Gallery画廊代理，并在丹麦和日本举办过个展和群展。他拥有丹麦媒体与新闻学院（DMJX）视觉传达专业的学士学位。

他的创作根植于绘画，并延伸至陶瓷和版画领域。Jacobsen的作品游走于艺术与平面设计的交汇点，他将绘画视为一个可以运用流行文化现象和理论框架来审视当代视觉文化的场域。他的作品以概念为驱动，源于他对视觉语言如何在当代文化中传播、形成和演变的兴趣。

日本动漫是他创作的核心，它既是一种情感语言，也是一种文化结构。他借鉴了Sianne Ngai关于“可爱”的论述和村上隆的“超扁平”理论，将动漫作为一种美学驱动力来审视当代全球文化。数字工作流程使他能够重新组合现有图像，并将其转化为浓郁而沉浸式的油画作品，重新引入直觉、材料的抵抗力和人类的不可预测性。他的作品如同过度生长的表面，层叠的人物和纹理打破了等级秩序，吸引观者长时间观看并投入情感。

在驻地期间，Jacobsen将探索1995年经典动画《攻壳机动队》的主题，以此回应在快速发展的数字世界中，作为艺术家和人类的双重身份认同问题。当代对“幽灵”的定义是什么？它们存在于何处？如果身体与机器之间的界限模糊不清，人类又是什么？为了思考这些问题，Jacobsen借鉴了复古科幻动画的美学和主题，并将它们融合到新的构图和处理方式中。

Tobias Jacobsen (b. 1992) is a visual and conceptual artist based in Copenhagen. He works from his studio in Vesterbro and has participated in international residencies and exhibitions. Jacobsen is represented by De Gallery, Copenhagen, and has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions in Denmark and Japan. He holds a BA in Visual Communication from the Danish School of Media and Journalism (DMJX).

His practice is rooted in painting and extends into ceramics and print. Working at the intersection of art and graphic design, Jacobsen approaches painting as a site where contemporary visual culture can be examined through pop-cultural phenomena and theoretical frameworks. His work is concept-driven, informed by an interest in how visual languages circulate, take form, and mutate in contemporary culture.

Central to his practice is Japanese anime as both an emotional language and a cultural structure. Drawing on Sianne Ngai’s writing on kawaii and Takashi Murakami’s theory of Superflat, he uses anime as an aesthetic driver to examine contemporary global culture. Digital workflows allow him to remix existing imagery, which he then translates into dense, immersive oil paintings that reintroduce intuition, material resistance, and human unpredictability. His works function as overgrown surfaces, where layered figures and textures resist hierarchy, inviting prolonged viewing and emotional engagement.

During his residency, Jacobsen explores themes from the iconic anime ‘Ghost in the Shell’ from 1995 as a response to the narrative of being an artist and human in a vastly developing digital world. What is the contemporary definition of a ghost, and where do they exist? What is a human if the lines between body and machine are blurred out? In order to reflect upon these questions, Jacobsen uses aesthetics and themes from retro sci-fi anime and mixes them into new compositions and treatments.
