Jaski Gallery
Studio Job led by artist Job Smeets presents a new show at Jaski Gallery of rare and unusual works in a new partnership with the Amsterdam gallery. This will be the Dutch artist’s first show in the city for over a decade and the first show with renowned gallery Jaski. Several pieces have travelled directly from Job Smeets’s critically acclaimed show ‘Forever Endeavour’ at Museum W, The Netherlands. With works spanning much of Smeets’s 25 years since the studio was founded, this new exhibition aims to captivate the spirit of the retrospective, with many additional pieces available publicly for the first time in this unusual and highly personal show.
All the pieces are small-scale personal favourites from the Belgian/Dutch artist, all handmade in the Studio Job atelier in The Netherlands, with select works from many famous collections of the artist as well as unique pieces and drawings. Highlights include the rare complete Still Life gold collection (Groningen Museum) and the life-size bronze Wolf sculpture (Museum W). Also presented is a new Studio Job adaptation of the classic ‘Allen’ Frank Lloyd Wright table exclusively created for the exhibition.

The Salon Art + Design Fair, New York
Studio Job and Job Smeets exhibit the new Rock Oxidised Collection at The Salon Art + Design 2021 in New York with gallery R&Company.
The Rock Oxidized collection was created as a special edition for R & Company Gallery as one of their first collaborations with Job Smeets and his studio. “I wanted to create something with classic Studio Job history, the rock pieces but with the idea they have been excavated from our archives, eroded and oxidized over time.”
This finish is hand crafted in the Studio Job atelier with the bronze sculpture to give the oxidized effect with colour and texture. The ‘rock’ structure was created by Job Smeets over twenty years ago as one of the founding sculptural elements of his work, each facet is hand crafted edge by edge to create an organic structure.
On show now at the The Salon Art + Design Fair, Park Avenue Armory 11-15 November, New York.
Idiosyncratic objects referencing pop culture and baroque ornamentation are hallmarks of Antwerp-based Studio Job. ‘Weeping Lantern’, an eery floor lamp-cum-sculpture which the Studio’s founder, Job Smeets, is presenting at Salon Art + Design with New York gallery R & Company, speaks to all these themes. Made from a combination of glass and polished and patinated bronze, it demonstrates Smeet’s mastery of materials and ability to combine wit, tradition, design and art in a single work. “This piece plays with the states of matter, shaping an industrial object gently into the impossible,” he says. “It is the meeting point between gravity-defying sculpture and realistic surrealism.”
