Scream is my second portrait of Michael Jackson. This is no 04 from the B-sides of the Heroes series. The first portrait ‘Off The Wall’ was part of the Heroes A-sides series, limited & signed edition 1/1. We witness the now maligned anti-hero in a 3 double portrait. We see him as the dance virtuoso that he was in the Billie Jean, Moonwalk period. Cooler than cool, smoother than smooth he showed us what dancing really was all about in extremes and who was master. He made school for generations to come and is (hardly) never surpassed or outclassed. In the second portrait we see him jumping and screaming above the horizon. An artist, lonelier than lonely and more lost than anyone. Loved to death by his audience, haunted by the press and crushed by his dad. This is why the third portrait returns in the tabloid. Everyone knows how this story ended and what shockwave shook the world posthumous. Weird, pathetic, odd and perverse that is how he is remembered. While the prodigy he was, completely comes short in this description. The paradox here is, is it done to still speak of a hero, knowing what we know now, or not? But at the same time is a cult-hero status that came alongside with the inspiration of millions of people, not an obvious value in it's own right and everlasting. Is the dark side in this case not the other side of the same coin? The answer remains somewhere in the middle. With Scream I want to overlap the genius Michael and the hunted game Michael. The title is borrowed from the song Scream that he produced and performed with his sister Janet. This song and related video gives a psychedelic glance from his haunted and choking perspective.

I can experience art on many levels and in many different ways. Then I look for aesthetics and eloquence but also for a particular angle. I make contemporary engaged art. It has a certain urgency. It is reflecting us, people and the zeitgeist. Images speak louder than words and basically appeal very directly to our feelings. My images are something of a mix between activism and philosophy, they want to engage in dialogue.” I am born in Hoorn (NH) (1970) and have been working as a visual artist since 1994. My studio is located at the Rieteweg 10 in Zwolle. I am a multidisciplinary artist. My autonomous work includes painting, collage, installation, digital art, photo manipulation, video art and 3d. I also work on commission and on a project basis. Typical for my autonomous work is the key role for man in its shape and behaviour. It is often a reflection of current social themes, but also mundane and personal issues are important sources of inspiration. Through small interventions, repetitions, inversions, or breaking surfaces with architectural forms, a new image is created in a somewhat familiar image. Although my work can be seen as aesthetic, it often conceals certain uneasiness, abrasive aesthetics. This duality or ambiguity is also a recurring theme. Do you see what you see? The resulting images are often on the cutting edge of fiction, realism, graphic and plastic. Contemporary (sur)realist?- My work cannot be placed in a tradition or movement. There are certainly surrealistic elements in my work and occasionally some abstraction, but in terms of style I draw from (contemporary) realism. Until now, I have been able to express myself best in the figurative, although I do not rule out anything for the future. As far as I am concerned, art is fluid and and artist never stop evolving. I do not wish to limit myself, neither to a medium, nor to autonomous art. I see myself much more as a conduit of concepts and ideas. Often my ideas are interspersed with philosophical questions and/or social themes that occupy me. I therefore sometimes set myself the task of casting these in project form, if only within the limitations of visual art. This has resulted in a number of projects varying from social to future-oriented.
