Jim Mooijekind experiences in multiple ways that his work and the current zeitgeist are converging. He perceives this through the increasing space for the grotesque in visual art—developments fueled by the turbulent times we live in. Mooijekind’s works align with the broader international revival of figurative painting, where abstract concepts and ideas are depicted in the artist's unique way.
Mooijekind works with acrylic on canvas, a medium that allows for an element of surprise in the creative process. For example, he deliberately makes rough brushstrokes in a piece, which then demand a resolution. Through his approach, he strives to become incomparable.
