Today’s visual culture offers us a rich but also transitory collection of images that form the base of Eugène Jongerius’ work. Eugène paints, photographs, films, photoshops, coats and sprinkles existing images.

Besides his digital work, Eugène Jongerius’ paintings are mostly based on a combined technique: pigment / photo-emulsion / acrylic on linen. He also works with photosensitive layers on linen on which a first print is applied by means of a photopositive image and ultraviolet light.

Creating new work, based on existing images, is a well-known phenomenon within the field of the visual arts.
