Gallery B at Bloomingfoods Near West
“Globular Delights”
by Jacob Wittman
July - September 2026
Artist’s bio
Jacob is a Bloomington resident that enjoys making art of most kinds.
Pen and ink, watercolors, oil and acrylic painting, mixed media and printmaking are the primary visual art methods that he utilizes. But, is not beholden to them alone.
Jacob has been active in the art community of Bloomington for many years. Whether with visual art, or music. He has illustrated and designed comics, posters, show flyer, t-shirts, concert flyers and more. Though this has slowed down, he has kept up with painting primarily. With some doodles and nonsense sprinkled in. And generally, has fun doing it. He enjoys artistic tomfoolery, and making art for arts sake. No big statement or point, other than making an interesting thing where there wasn’t previously. A blank wall is a sad wall. Art for art’s sake is enough. Making it feels good, and visual pleasantries are a wonderful sprinkle on the pile of drab mashed potatoes of the daily grind.
Artist’s Statement
Globular Delights is ideally just that. Globs of paint on glass that are potentially delightful in some way. The majority of these works are acrylic on repurposed windows and glass cabinet doors. There are some pen and ink drawings sprinkled in for good measure. As well as a mixed media piece that usually hangs over his trash can. Cheers!
