Spotlighting the works of a few of our favourite artists from across the globe.
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
Niels De Jong
The heterogeneous geometric creations of Niels de Jong open portals into exciting new lands of adventure, full of boundless possibilities and the potential for self-discovery. It is by way of creative explorations and associations that de Jong reveals facets of his own narratives, all the while allowing us the freedom to unravel our own; to make each texture, pattern, colour combination or motif a trigger for personal memories or experiences to open doors in our imaginations, or to provide a spark which may kindle brand new escapades into the unknown.
