Stéphane Jacob, a graduate of the Ecole du Louvre, is a member of the National Chamber of Experts Specialized in Art and Collectibles (C.N.E.S.) and the Professional Committee of Art Galleries. Since 1996, he has passionately defended contemporary Australian art, especially Aboriginal art. While the inspiration of Aboriginal artists remains closely associated with the Dream Time - the Time of Creation for Aborigines - they have been able to renew the iconographic vocabulary of their people by creating their own motifs and using new materials, thus giving birth to contemporary works where abstraction borders on the sacred.
