* * * The style, method and themes of Gregor JAKUBOWSKI's paintings, follow the moods of the turn of the century
decadent, symbolist, and aesthetic art and literary movements, rather than the contemporary world.
* In his early years, he used fine, decorative and sinuesque outline to describe the forms of the subjects of his paintings.
* A kind of unique, reflective melancholy developed.
* The energetic lines and etchings of the artist, similar to China ink pen drawings, superpose nervous line
to the decorative, almost uniform surface of color in the painting. One is often reminded of Schiele or Klimt.
* The figures in the symbolic paintings of Gregor Jakubowski inhabit their own dreamlike space.
* Jakubowski's mastery of anatomy is emphasized by his unique way of combining linearism
with subdued areas of color to create a synthesis of drawn and painterly elements.
* His compositions are marked by a somber grace that dignifies the human figure,
even while their anatomical fragmentation may suggest the transient nature of the flesh.
* Another inspiration of Gregor Jakubowski is related to his artistic and emotional attachment to the horse,
and to the lifestyle surrounding horse riding.
* The artist begins his paintings with a general plastic conception of composition, light,
shade and color, and only then proceeds to a more detailed description of his subject.
* This way, his paintings are full of dynamic movement and of a sort of agitation,
which seemed to better capture how horses carry themselves.

Gregor JAKUBOWSKI's art doesn't lack what is so liked by the connaisseurs
the soft, painterly brushwork, shimerring light, transfused forms and blended
contrasts, rich and luminous colour, vibrant shadows and movement.
In other
words - it has all that makes a painting an object of aestethic value.
The characteristic, aggressive line becomes an expressive ornament in the style
of Art Nouveau, which brings to mind flickering flames or a quivering, intricate,
lace-like structure
The heroes of particular compositions are unsettingly
& beautiful, elegant, and quiet
Even though the world of the luminous webs
and intricate ornament apparently threatens them, engulfs & blurrs the outline
of their bodies, leadin to decomposition & obliteration.
Jakubowski
speaks with caressing whisper His works combine specific,
mysterious aura with a mood of poetic contemplation, though the lyricism is
not devoid of apocaliptic accent, but individual compositions loose nothing
of their decorativness and beauty
