Clive Jacobson is a New York–based artist and visual strategist whose work is centered on visual semiotics, duality, and contradiction—examining how opposing ideas can coexist. Through this lens, he creates work that operates simultaneously as communication and inquiry.

Jacobson develops visual frameworks that challenge fixed interpretation and invite multiple readings. His projects often employ restraint, repetition, and symbolic tension to reveal underlying structures of perception.

 

His multi award winning background in design informs this approach: each body of work is built as a coherent system, where every element functions in relation to a larger conceptual logic. This methodology allows him to move fluidly between cultural and commercial contexts while maintaining a consistent intellectual foundation.

His clients have included major global brands and institutions, and his work has been recognized by leading industry organizations. He has held senior creative leadership roles and taught visual communication courses at New York University and New York High Schools.
