{"title":"Jakob Grosse Ophoff","description":"\u003cp\u003eJakob Grosse Ophoff is a German kinetic sculptor and visual artist whose work combines mechanics, movement and human behavior. Originally trained as a mechanical engineer, he graduated in 2019 before focusing fully on his artistic practice. His kinetic sculptures explore repetitive gestures, emotional tension and absurdity through motors, cranks and mechanical systems. Human-like movements become poetic, humorous or uncomfortable reflections of everyday behavior. Alongside his sculptural work, he creates paintings, drawings and limited edition prints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eJakob Grosse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e has presented several solo exhibitions across Germany and Scandinavia, with recent highlights including \u003cem data-end=\"152\" data-start=\"134\"\u003emachines like us\u003c\/em\u003e at \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eGallery TM51\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e in 2025 and \u003cem data-end=\"225\" data-start=\"206\"\u003eMaschinen wie wir\u003c\/em\u003e at Studio 36 in Rostock.
