After secondary education (mavo - vwo), Jacob Kanbier followed a short stay at the art academy in Amsterdam in 1985. The "art education" could not inspire him. Jacob Kanbier has largely mastered the various techniques himself.
Jacob Kanbier's "great examples" are Willem de Kooning and Jean-Michel Basquiat. From this he indicates that his "preference" goes to his "rough" work, which Jacob Kanbier creates as it were in an explosion with hands and brush.
As early as 1987, Jacob Kanbier had a solo exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden. That year, he also performed in an action-painting show at Boulevard of Broken Dreams in Amsterdam, together with Herman Brood, Jules Deelder and Simon Vinkenoog.
In 1989, Jacob Kanbier presented the "Neosymbolism Manifesto" at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
