Folkert de Jong — Untitled (Golden Dawn Series)
Folkert de Jong

Untitled (Golden Dawn Series)

2005

Folkert de Jong's *Untitled (Golden Dawn Series)* presents a haunting and theatrical tableau that blurs the boundaries between spectacle and dread, drawing on the artist's signature exploration of power, ritual, and human folly. De Jong's work often employs garish color and unsettling figuration to confront dark chapters of history and ideology, and this piece continues that tradition with an atmosphere of ominous pageantry. The work invites viewers to examine the seductive and destructive forces that shape collective belief and political mythology.
