Patrick Jacobs's Dioramas at The Pool NYC, Milan
The Pool NYC gallery in Milan presents an exhibition of dioramas by American artist Patrick Jacobs (born 1971, Merced). His works use optical illusions of light and lenses through small apertures to create immersive, miniature worlds that viewers can see but never enter. The show traces Jacobs's evolution and focuses on nature as both nurturing and cruel, with particular emphasis on the Fairy Rings series, which draw on powerful and terrifying myths. The exhibition runs at The Pool NYC's Milan location.
