Jacob Talbot is a multidisciplinary artist, manipulating analogue and digital photography, extending into fine art based multi - media pieces. Alongside and within his photographic practise, Talbot also utilises the benefits of sculpture, interactive installation and nature to actualise concepts.
As a ‘recent’ 1st Class Honours Graduate of BA Photography (Leeds Arts University 2021), Talbot’s Artistic career has quickly gained the attention of collectors and curators internationally.
As seen in his successful debut solo exhibition, ‘An Isolated State’, funded by Leeds Inspired, Talbot utilises interactive installation as a means to challenge the boundaries between the two mediums and engage a new audience.
During the lead up to his debut solo show ‘An Isolated State’ Talbot was awarded ‘The Signature Art Prize’.
Since then he has gone on to commercially exhibit and sell photography and sculpture throughout art fairs in the UK, Europe, America and Asia; building up a strong client base and collectors alike.
His conceptual work has also been exhibited in multiple group exhibitions nationally and internationally. From a large scale banner at Rotterdam Photo, having three pieces selected for a contemporary photographic exhibition in Seoul, being one of only 10 shortlisted artists for the BBA One Shot award in Berlin and most recently being shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize.
Since 2021 Talbot has also been the Head Curator for BANG Galleries, a new branch of the long established and well respected Linda Blackstone Gallery, helping to showcase contemporary emerging artists in a highly competitive commercial setting.
