The book, written by Edwin Becker, Chief Curator of Exhibitions at the Van Gogh Museum, offers a personal perspective on Deelstra's work: "Jonat's work is one of the rare contemporary artistic expressions in my collection. When he delivered the pieces to my home, we were both surprised to see how seamlessly they fit with the art from around 1900."
The publication provides a comprehensive overview of Deelstra's artistic practice, spanning from sketches and his studio to galleries and museum exhibitions. This edition, produced in collaboration with graphic designer Suze Swarte, GoMulan Gallery, and Edwin Becker, promises to be captivating. BorderLife is published in English. The publication was made possible in part by the generous contribution of the Jaap Harten Fund and is available through the artist's website and during PAN Amsterdam at GoMulan Gallery, Walls & Cabinets booth B. Price: € 45.
