Folkert de Jong: Ministry of Fear / Foam
Robbert Roos, Folkert de Jong
Kunsthal Kade, 2023
€34,95
Using Styrofoam and polyurethane foam, Dutch artist Folkert de Jong creates life-size sculptural groups. Remarkable and grotesque worlds emerge that display power, violence, disaster, and other disturbing aspects of the human condition. Intrigued by the depths of the human soul, the artist draws the viewer into a realm where the bizarre meets the fragile, all with a sense of postapocalyptic future. In this exhibition catalogue, De Jong returns to the origins of his oeuvre, revealing its genesis through a selections of artworks from the beginning of his career in 1996 to the present day. With additional texts by Émilie Cauquy and Paul O’Kane, plus an interview with the artist.
