Artist Statement
Many of Jongman's works involve architecture in some form: motel rooms, waiting rooms, dilapidated buildings, usually devoid of human presence, often provoking feelings of nostalgia and contemplation.
He paints modernist architecture, as a departing point for the idea that it used to embody an -often utopian- spirit, harbouring ideal visions of human life and society and a belief in progress.
