Jaqueline de Jong
Jaqueline de Jong is a Dutch painter, sculptor and graphic artist living and working in Amsterdam and Bourbon, France.
In her painting practice, she easily switched between different styles, from expressionist painting to new figuration and pop art, repeating motifs of eroticism, desire, violence and humor. From prints to large oil paintings, she displays a fascination with the grotesque and the macabre, especially in the more figurative works depicting creatures that are half human, half beast. It is as if they reveal the ugly or animal side of human nature that we usually prefer to hide.
