About Jaap Groen

In my work I am looking for the essences of our existence, my existence. Why I live and what am I doing here? Do I have particular utility or am I rather like a blade of grass in a meadow? I’m communicate with image as image maker. This may be pure image but also a spatial experience that you perceive with your being. I’m researching the everyday acts and try to catch them in their essence. Vulgar acts because it is about the act as an act. It is therefore not a nice pictures or sellable work. It is to try to touch the essence of the acts (what might be an even greater beauty). The images that this pose are not invented but created by the Act. I get them as the true gift. The are remains of what is done. Important remnants because they tell a verb, the Act again.
