Jacob Hendrik’s art is a conversation—a dialogue between his hands, his materials and fire. He is drawn to the raw, imperfect beauty of things that have endured, the interplay between creation and destruction, order and chaos, light and dark. As a young photographer, Hendrik was obsessed with “Urban Decay,”a concept where one would find beauty in abandoned train stations, hospitals and houses lost to time. Decaying surfaces, peeling paint, intricate mould growing on surfaces became a source of passion and inspiration which can be seen in his work today.
