Past exhibition

Guy de Jong

Fragments

6 September – 13 October 2024

A body of work spanning four decades which has, until now, remained largely hidden from public view. De Jong’s previously unseen paintings depict figures in relationship to themselves and one another, constantly emerging out of and dissolving into their shapeless environments. His spontaneous, uncontrived style blends cubist and Art Brut aesthetics into an authentic and joyful visual language.
