PAINTER & SCULPTOR - GERMANY
Jerry Kowalsky is a Dutch painter and sculptor. Cardboard is his primary material of choice. Jerry's works are imbued with a mystical quality that is profoundly simple, due in part to his use of cardboard, an often discarded but amazing material. Through this simple, unassuming portal, the viewer slips into his imaginary parallel world.
Strolling through an exhibition created by Jerry is a bit like visiting a natural history museum in which lots of Jivaro shrunken heads have been replaced by large, imposing cardboard sculptures.
According to Jerry, "The subject of my work is about how the human psyche is shaped by consumption, as well as the Internet. In my work I try to engage the viewer as if I'm a collector of reality, of material stuff, as well as someone who presents social conditions and human behavior in sculptural form."
Further, Jerry explains: "My work is about alienation, loneliness, fear, vulnerability and attempts to hold on. I collect raw reality - I observe, draw my conclusions, and make them visible by encoded them again in the materials I use. With my work I want to represent the visualization of a possible other-world. I’m interested in conveying the idea that danger and darkness are close at hand."
