About the Item
Nails and thread on wood in Plexiglass
"In my latest body of work it’s all about perception, how each individual perceives things differently, how things can change and looked at from a different angle or point of view, examining the effects and influence mass media has on our modern society and how it determines what we think and changes our perception of the world around us.
Constantly bombarded with messages from a multitude of sources including, TV, Billboards, magazine and social media to name a few not only promoting products but also determining our behaviors, needs, what is and what is not important to know, concealing the truth and manipulating the masses. Like magicians shifting our focus and our attention to what they want us see or perceive while the real magic or rather the deception is actually happening elsewhere in front of your eyes.
With these works I try to show how different things can look from a different angle or by changing ones perspective.
By de-fragmenting an image in to as little information the human eye needs to recognize and process the information I end up with an abstract color pallet of pixels, color pixels that I then re-fragment again with as much information possible by incorporating thousands of photographic images in resin spheres selected and separated by theme and color, that together form the larger image “The big picture” if you like. Resulting in these three dimensional, multi leveled works that depending on your distance, angle or ones idealized perception determine what the eye of the beholder is looking at." (Nemo Jantzen)

Nemo Jantzen
Nemo Jantzen plays with focus, creating a sense of depth, thus bringing into question the act of voyeurism and the anticlimactic and revelatory nature of privacy. In his hyperrealistic work, Nemo Jantzen is much inspired by film and tries to capture details of highly enlarged objects or photographic moments in time. These scenes portray often decadent and noir-style subject matters with a story to tell - like a movie still with an open ending - deliberately avoiding eye contact that could give away the personality of the painted subjects, as to not interfere with the imagination of the spectator. This compells us to think and imagine what has happened or what will happen next. Intrigued by light and the mystery of darkness, Jantzen plays with focus, creating a sense of depth and connecting the image and viewer through the inclusion of the optical vocabulary of cinematography, and the allusion to the constraints of the instant polaroid. In his mixed-media body work of painted ceramics on wood, Nemo Jantzen wishes to capture and address the times we live in. In particular the voyeurism of hidden cameras and video surveillance that have become accepted in our society, creating awareness of this invasion of privacy for our own perverted need to watch and to know everything. In the name of safety and control, and fed by the media, this imagery has changed into entertainment and pleasure. He depicts public figures that became common good and through a language of blurred and pixelated imagery, photographic stills and scenes that can tell whole stories in one glance. In these pieces, built up out of hand-painted ceramic tiles which he uses as building blocks, that by themselves are nothing more than that, but together form pixelated shapes that merely suggest an image that our imagination transforms into flowing and complete figures. The missing details and shortage of information stimulates our imagination to fill in the blanks and create the excitement. With large-scale images built out of hundreds of small images; stories incapsulated in glass spheres the work simply keeps repeating to the viewers. In a word : “The closer you look, the less you see”.
