Marin de Jong

 

Marin de Jong graduated at the Willem de Kooning Art Academy in 2006. Since then, Marin developed a personal style characterized by a collage-like approach and a highly technical execution, using egg-tempera painting techniques and pigments to create his own colour palette. While mainly focussing on painting, Marin also works with other media. The combination of his contemporary approach and the classical execution integrate with the central themes in his works.

 

After decades in which individual freedom was at the centre of our liberal society, a new Romantic era has arrived. The Western world, again, is building walls and raising borders. A renewed sense of nationalism and a focus on ethnical identity are central in the resistance of the elite and it?s status-quo. In this era, where nuance is losing from discourtesy, there is no room for artists. Except for super stars.
