Jeremy Demester: XXI

Jeremy Demester approaches his canvases with an eye for natural processes of imitation and representation. His art is influenced by protohistoric archaeology, mythologies from all societies, and global popular culture – a wide-ranging knowledge he inherited from his nomadic Romani origins.

A story of movement and life unfolds in the artist’s latest series Stela. Refusing the distinction between landscape and abstraction, the nine compositions synthesize several of the artist’s past works. Animated by violent colors, skies, trees, rain, and flames overlap and intermingle, rising
from the earth to the sky.
