Weidemann grew up in Steinkjer and moved to Oslo at age 11 to live with his mother. He was educated at the Bergen Art School (Bergen Kunsthåndverkskole) (1939), Ole B. Eides malerskole in Bergen (1940–41) and the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo (1941). Jacob Weidemann's first exhibition at Blomqvist's art trade (Blomqvists kunsthandel) in Oslo during 1946 was his breakthrough.
Weidemann is considered one of the more influential artists within Norwegian modernism in the 1950s. He pioneered abstract painting in Norway in the decades following the Second world war. Weidemanns work Storfuglen letter (1959) was elected as one of the twelve most important Norwegian artworks by Morgenbladet.

Several of his late works are Inntrykk fra naturen (Impressions from Nature), Interiør (Interior), Veien to Jerusalem (The road to Jerusalem), Storfuglen letter (The great bird lifts off), Tåke i Getsemane (Fog in Getsemane) and Hommage à El Greco.
