In his work Suriname-born Dutch artist Remy Jungerman (1959) searches for a visual language that will bring different cultures together. His recent work is inextricably bound up with African traditions and the Western, modernistic art tradition.  He is interested in the intersecting paths travelled by motifs from Africa, the Surinamese Maroon culture, and 20th century Modernism. By exploring the convergence of patterns and shapes from these seemingly disparate cultural landscapes, he reveals the distillation of time and identity.
 

Remy Jungerman has exhibited works at Prospect3 (New Orleans), Brooklyn Museum (New York), El Museo del Barrio (New York), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), Gemeentemuseum The Hague, Centraal Museum (Utrecht), Afrika Museum (Berg en Dal), Museum Het Domein (Sittard), Museum Arnhem, Rennie Museum (Vancouver), Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), Malba (Buenos Aires), Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon, Havana Biennale (Cuba) and Museum Bamako (Mali) among others. His work has been featured in numerous publications and acquired by various institutions and private collectors worldwide. Jungerman and Iris Kensmil represented the Netherlands at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019.
