Jakob Grosse-Ophoff is a contemporary artist whose practice centres on sculpture and object-making, exploring themes of touch, care and emotional proximity. 'Hugger' (2025) translates a familiar human gesture into a quiet sculptural form, inviting reflection on intimacy and support in an increasingly distanced world. The artist has presented work across international group exhibitions, curated showcases and art fairs, as well as through collaborative exhibition projects and special commissions.
