Waiting room VII 2019

Jarik Jongman’s “Waiting room VII” (2019) is an oil painting depicting a scene of disarray. Four chairs are piled haphazardly, illuminated by a shaft of light that suggests an empty waiting room or an abandoned space. The thick brushstrokes and dark palette create a sense of unease and leave the viewer pondering the narrative behind the chaotic scene. The artwork is a characteristic example of Jongman’s minimalist style, which explores the beauty of everyday objects and spaces in a new light.
