In the surrealistic and disconcerting work of Jeroen Cremers (1972, the Netherlands) various different influences converge to form a new worldview in which modernist stylistic influences effortlessly merge with the history of ancient Egypt or other civilisations of antiquity.
The images are characterised by animal forms and are clear references to cult imagery from that period. But in the place of their heads, the artist has arranged strange stacks of geometric shapes. Cubes and pyramids dominate Jeroen’s new sculptures. Shapes that point to the past, but also to elements from science fiction, such as the black monolith from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
