Claudy Jongstra
Lemon Burst III

2022

About the Item

Material: Drenth Heath Wool, Raw Silks, Merino, Silk Organza Jongstra embraces the full potential of life on earth by benefitting from the wonderful material of sheep wool and by distilling her own colour palette using ancient dyers crops and almost lost handcraft skills. At the same time she is incessantly striving to enhance biodiversity, to safeguard cultural heritage and to transfer secret knowledge to younger generations. In 2022, the year that activist Claudy Jongstra launches two new essential initiatives as part of her ongoing mission - the nomadic Guernica de la Ecologia and the foundation of the Phi School - her most recent art pieces seem to want to express a new urgency. The electrifying pink of Fuchsia Hybrida radiates the forceful energy of plants to overcome, to break through defying rock solid elements like clay, stone or even tarmac. The neon yellow colored patches in the Lemon Burst series depict Arcadian flowering fields as a result of healthy pollination crying out their hopeful life force that is bursting to survive. Related to the voyage of the Guernica de la Ecologia Jongstra will also be showing intimate studies for her tribute to Picasso’s iconic artpiece and political manifest painted 85 years ago in 1937.
