Jarik Jongman uses both his own photographs and anonymous pictures found in flea markets, books, magazines and the internet as a starting point for his work. Recently described as "a new Dutch Master”, Jarik Jongman (b.1962) once worked as an assistant to Anselm Kiefer and is now making serious waves on the contemporary art scene. His Phenomena paintings, with their metaphysical flashes of mysterious light, allude to the transience of existence. Phenomena #5 was selected for the Threadneedle Prize 2010 and went on to win First Prize at the National Open Art Competition 2010. Selected for numerous prizes, Jongman has exhibited internationally, including London, Berlin, Switzerland, Amsterdam and the 53rd & 54th Venice Biennale. He lives and works in London and Amsterdam and is represented by WW Gallery in the UK.
