Nemo Jantzen

Dutch artist Nemo Jantzen has established himself over the past 20 years working as a contemporary artist best known for his pop art and hyper-realistic paintings. His works of art appear in most major markets and art galleries in New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam and Singapore, as well as in renowned art collections in both public and private institutions. POPA Museum of Art, Switzerland, Acalzar Financial Group Public Collection, Weelock Properties Singapore, Caixa Barcelona City Cultural Institution, Claudia Schieffer Actress, among others. Born and raised in The Hague, after studying art, design and photography at the RTO Rotterdam, he moved to Antwerp, working as a Creative Director and poster artist while further developing his technique and style as an artist. After several years in Belgium, and a year traveling through Asia and the Middle East, he settled in Spain, dedicating his career to the creation and promotion of fine arts, advising other emerging artists and constantly exploring new media and new avenues to bring the artwork in the light. His first works found images inspired by Pop-Art that created new contexts from photographic journalism and advertising, with enlarged and highly detailed objects placed outside of his natural environment. The successive shows used and explored cinematographic images as a source of collective visual consciousness. His hyper-realistic work takes dialogue to the next level by incorporating the vocabulary of cinematography and the convenience of digital photography as inspiration for his new paintings. Nemos hyper-realistic narrative paintings and his mixed-media work evoke iconic images embedded in the collective unconscious, illustrating the overlap between our memories of contemporary cinema images and our real-world experiences. The artist is not interested in the fragmentation of objects in the real world; he is interested in revealing the unity that underlies reality.
