Jacob Littlejohn (b.1995) is a Scottish artist, now living in New York. A graduate of The Glasgow School of Art, he studied at the San Francisco Art Institute, and received his MFA from Hunter College in 2024. He has exhibited most recently at Kutlesa Gallery, Goldau, Switzerland, and Half Gallery, New York, and has participated in group shows in New York, London, Los Angeles, and Edinburgh, and elsewhere.
His works are informed by the momentary sublime rooted in the vastness of the natural world. The work is centered around landscape as a concept—unity, balance, focal point, and transitions, exploring the tension between conscious and subconscious interpretations of place and spaces. Each work attempts to draw from and convey both personal and cultural narratives, surveying concepts of time, challenging perceptions of reality while welcoming the supernatural and enigmatic.
