About Of Twark and Trubble, featuring ‘The Perfidious Petards’
Of Twark and Trubble, featuring ‘The Perfidious Petards’ is a solo exhibition featuring new and recent works on paper and sculpture by Jacobine van der Meer.
In lieu of a traditional statement about the work, the artist has provided the following prose to contextualize the work in this exhibition.
The characters in the outlet theater
carry the empty bubbles of forgotten speech
nostalgic yearning for honor and violence
yields well as production swells
the shelter, artificial shell of status
rubble bubble trubble
About the Artist
Jacobine van der Meer was born in The Netherlands and now lives and works in the inner city of Los Angeles as well as in Landers, a small town in the Mojave desert, close to the 29 Palms Marine Base. These two very opposite locations fuel her work, as well as an interest in the relationship between history and the contemporary, often expressed through the use of characters and exaggeration.

The paintings explore life and death as well as the optimistic and pessimistic viewpoints surrounding religious imagery.
