Dutch painter Joram Roukes’ large scaled oil paintings of collaged images bring
together moments of abstraction, figuration, and pop iconography together to create
dynamic mutating and morphing figures. His imagery refers to the moral dilemmas one
may find himself in, viewing today’s western society. Through experience by participation
Joram Roukes reflects not necessarily on an opinion on society’s flaws in his work, but
rather observes and reports on typical western phenomena, leaving judgement up to the
viewer, who thereby, establish their own position in these matters. (via)
