Suzanne Jongmans (1978) is a Dutch photographer and textile artist. She was born in the Netherlands and from 1996 until 2000 she went to the Academy of Visual Arts in Tilburg, where she graduated in Textile Design and Photography.
Jongmans has multiple solo- and group exhibitions to her name. Her work refers to the ‘old masters’ such as Rembrandt, Holbein de Jongere and Rogier van der Weyden. Her work is interdisciplinary; she has retained a theatrical element in her work and her multi-media processes and productions now define her as a seamstress, pattern cutter, creator of sculptural forms, designer of costumes and a photographer who compresses images from their third dimension to the flat print.
Suzanne Jongmans, referring to both vulnerability and impermanence, is investigating the texture and feel of both the present and past. Since 2007 she is working on the series 'foam sculptures': caps and collars, inspired by 16th and 17th century paintings, made from materials currently used for packaging and insulation. This is also an inferior material which is often discarded after use. By using this material she make a reference to consumerism and the rapid circulation of materials. The portraits are a certain reference to Holbein, Clouet, Vermeer and Holland's Golden Age. It is no coincidence. In fact, in the 16th and 17th century, laid the foundations for photography. She use the elements in the present as in the past, the objects in her work are used as symbols of values. Mutating old costumes into new plastics and old masters in new photographic works.
