Remon de Jong builds abstract works from the brushstrokes of 17th-century masters. Not as reproduction. Not as homage. As raw material.
He isolates individual marks from old master paintings — fragments of gesture, movement, and authorship — and reconstructs them into new autonomous compositions. The work begins in oil paint, moves through digital process, and returns as a physical object of museum quality, often in rare antique frames.
What remains is not the image. It is the hand.
