Painting, Acrylic on Wood
Size: 47 W x 47 H x 2 D in
Ships in a Crate
This work is inspired by the idea of a feel for completion; when is a work completed? When do I stop painting? How can I saturate the colors without killing off their airiness? When do you perceive it as to be finished, where is it an illusion of finish, can I suggest a surface that seems to be covered only with one layer of paint, but is actually an elaborate illusion of this sketchy stage? Within still life painting it is said that one very fine painted detail at the front of thee picture, will make you see the whole picture as detailed, as your own perception completes the rest of the work… Then there is the intersection of the planes, or their color play throughout the work, the intrinsic play between form and color; the suggestion of flatness, where actually the color experience is endless; the suggestion of space where actually the painterly surface suggests proximity and materialness.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Joost de Jonge is a widely exhibited Dutch artist with work in a wide range of international collections. He was educated at the Royal Academy of Art The Hague (& ‘s-Hertogenbosch) at the Universitat de Barcelona and earned his BFA in painting with honors at the School of the Arts in Utrecht, followed by an artist residency at the Fundación Cultural Knecht-Drenth in Callosa d'en Sarrià, Spain. In 2008 he began publishing catalogues of his work. In 2011, with his book The Ekphrasis Project: Oceanen van Kleur, he initiated his Ekphrasis Project, inviting art critics, art historians, and poets to respond to his paintings with original writings. In 2014 the series became an online publication, and in 2015 he produced his first digital book with its own domain at www.paintedpoetry.org: Painted Poetry & Painterly Poetics—an ekphrastic notion. The collaborative project flourished with contributions from across Europe as well as from important American poets and writers. This is his seventh book. In 2014 the art critic and curator Peter Frank interviewed him for a YouTube video titled “Joost de Jonge: A Life of Art,” directed by Juri Koll and produced by the Venice Institute of Contemporary Art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS687YvhEtk.
