Alienation and transformation are two concepts that spring to mind when looking at the new work of Jeroen Cremers.

The sculptures can be recognised by their bodies, but in the place of the head, strange stacks of geometric forms have been placed. Cubes and pyramids dominate his sculptures. Shapes that refer to the past but also to science fiction, think for example of the black monolith from "2001 Space Odyssey".

His new more abstract works also refer to the body.
The objects with strands that lie like a jumble around the base seem to be a hybrid between a mechanical component, an insect or a deep-sea creature and something organic.

Cremers has recently been looking at the dystopian works he depicts with different eyes. Corona shook everything up. Because of the great changes and uncertainties, his work seemed almost to have had foresight. This new situation had a great influence on his new visual language but also on the material.

After years of working mainly in cardboard, he returned to an old love: ceramics. He let go of the fear that the material would break down in the kiln, thus opening the door to expression, coincidence and surprise, with unexpected deformations and structures as a result.

Working with a factor of uncertainty fits in seamlessly with the now so topical theme of his sculptures: 'They are part of a world turned upside down by a drastic change or an intangible danger'.
