Jaap Kroneman

Jaap Kroneman's work is characterized by great diversity and extremes in aesthetics. On the one hand he charms the viewer with his aesthetics, on the other hand he annoys him or her with his provoking imagery. Aesthetics can be seen in his mirror object "Blinky Palermo". This is a timeless image. You think you can place it within a certain time and trend, but at the same time it withdraws itself from any point in time. Herein also lies a strength of Kroneman's work. This also goes for the 'plus minus' or (+ -) aircraft painting, made at the beginning of his career. It is a painting which feels very much alive and which he also could have painted now, or next year.

Jaap Kroneman (Roermond, 1968) works in Arnhem.
