Jantzen Nemo


Nemo Jantzen, born 1970 in The Haque, studied art, design and photography at the RTO Art Academy in Rotterdam. After his studies, he moved to Antwerp to work as a graphic designer and bill-board artist while further developing his technique and style as a fine artist.

Nemo Jantzen’s exploration of perception and perspective mixes photography, pointillism, and pop art to create mixed media photo-compositions that question and deconstruct pop culture and mass media. In an effort to explore and interrogate the powerful presence of visual culture in the modern world – Television, billboards, music, social media, magazines, and more – Jantzen has developed an aesthetic that feels both analog and interactive. After collecting thousands of images and organizing them by theme and color, the artist embeds them in small handmade resin spheres. Jantzen then joins dozens of the spheres together to create large scale mixed media photographic portraits.
