JEROEN CREMERS
Artist Statement:
The works by Jeroen Cremers have a dystopian air about them. His artwork shows enlarged body
parts and utensils, a kind of ‘wonderland’, as the artist calls it. A universe of strangers, abandoned
objects reminiscent of remnants of ancient cultures or cartoonish worlds. Made with scavenged
materials like paper and cardboard, his collages, paintings and installations show an absurd reality
filled with twisted heads, pinocchion giants or giant hands and fingers. Recently Jeroen has been
incorporating ceramics into his work again. He expanded his wonderland with bizare animalistic
creatures, organic objects and weaponry.
Born 1972, Reuver, the Netherlands
