Folkert de Jong — Von Dutch
Folkert de Jong

Von Dutch

2005

Von Dutch by Folkert de Jong is a provocative and theatrically charged sculpture that embodies the artist's signature exploration of excess, violence, and cultural mythology. De Jong's work typically employs garish colors and unsettling figuration to confront themes of power, desire, and historical brutality, and this piece likely continues that tradition with a darkly carnivalesque sensibility. The title's reference to the iconic American brand and its outlaw origins adds a layer of commentary on the seductive glamour of rebellious subcultures.
