JONAT DEELSTRA

The paintings, graphic work, and installations of Jonat Deelstra are both narrative and alienating. His style is often categorized as magical realism. His works are about humanity trying to settle on planet Earth (and its sometimes pathetic failed attempts). How do people interact with each other and their environment? That’s what Deelstra is exploring in his visually compelling works of Deelstra. He works with bright colors and paints fluently. His style is inviting and accessible, but there is also an unspoken tension. As if something terrible is about to happen and we are on the verge of an all-changing event.

Jonat Deelstra is represented at Art Weiland by gallery GoMulan
