We’ve noticed a small inaccuracy in the print article this blog refers to, concerning the public showing of “IN HOC SIGNO” by Jacob Chandler, James Syrette, and James Wenn.
To ensure everyone has the correct information, please note that the exhibition will take place at The Minories Gallery in Colchester this August (Thursdays through Sundays), not at Soulton Hall on April 27th. This was a slight error in the print publication, and we want to be clear that neither the artists nor Soulton Hall were the source of this misunderstanding.

We’re absolutely thrilled to celebrate a significant milestone for Jacob Chandler, a prominent artist, whom we have commissioned.
Hidden Talents: International Art Magazine – cover 2025 Spring
We were delighted to see an extensive profile in the esteemed Hidden Talents: International Art Magazine!
This feature is a wonderful testament to the power and impact of Jacob’s work, particularly following his stunning exhibition here at Soulton Hall, inspired by the dancers in As You Like It, which were also recently shown in the Shrewsbury Arts Trail.

To see Jacob’s artistic journey and the essence of his creations so thoughtfully explored within the pages of Hidden Talents: International Art Magazine is truly gratifying. The magazine, known for its discerning eye and in-depth analysis of contemporary art from across the globe, has shone a well-deserved spotlight on the movement and power that define Chandler’s sculptures, as well as referencing his collaboration with Byrga Geniht:
“Jacob Chandler at Soulton Hall: In Hoc Signo – A fusion of Geometry, Light and Meaning.”
This cubic interpretation of “IN HOC SIGNO,” situated in Soulton Hall’s Epidaurus Court, powerfully demonstrates the underlying geometric harmony present in both the artwork and the surrounding architecture.
The profile considers Jacob’s practice, capturing the dynamic energy inherent in his forms.
As we’ve witnessed first-hand with the pieces commissioned for Soulton Hall, inspired in part by our connection to Shakespeare’s As You Like It, Chandler’s work transcends mere physicality. It evokes emotion and invites contemplation.
The article beautifully highlights this, with quotes that truly resonate with our experience of his art, which perfectly encapsulates the feeling one gets when standing before his sculptures – a sense of latent energy and purposeful design.
Furthermore, the profile references the themes central to “In Hoc Signo,” our collaborative exhibition. The “fusion of Geometry, Light and Meaning” that defines this body of work has clearly struck a chord with the magazine’s discerning audience.

For Soulton Hall, having commissioned pieces that are now part of this celebrated artistic narrative is a profound honour. The magazine’s recognition of Jacob further validates the exciting partnership. This acknowledgement underscores the significance of Chandler’s contributions to the contemporary art landscape, now recognized on an international platform by Hidden Talents: International Art Magazine.
This profile in Hidden Talents: International Art Magazine serves as a fantastic opportunity for a wider, global audience to connect with Jacob Chandler’s compelling artistic language.
