Jeroen Jj Graus

I am a artist from the Netherlands. The last 9 years i have been working on a drawing project Fundament of Construction. The word ‘construction’ doesn’t refer to architecture. ‘Construction’ stands for a reality constructed from a remix of technological objects, figures from classical antiquity or the bible, constructed symbols and the human form. In the drawings in the project, the present, past, and future merge chaotically with each other. The ‘fundament’ is the square which symbolizes the DNA from which the ‘construction’ grows. The genes in the DNA, in themselves neither good nor bad, determine the discrepancies between people who are all able to exist thanks to their own 'mechanism'. Anyone can discover what their ‘mechanism’ within the Construction is, through life experience and inner wisdom.
