Known for his large scale portraits using resin domes containing hundreds of miniature photographs to create one incredible image. ‘ARTSY’ recently named Nemo Jantzen one of the top ten most in-demand artists. Nemo’s work is highly acclaimed in most leading art markets, art fairs and galleries in New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Singapore and can be found in renowned art collections both public institutions and private.

Born in 1970 Dutch Artist Nemo Jantzen, studied art, design and photography at the RTO Art Academy in Rotterdam. After his studies, he worked as a graphic designer and bill-board artist while further developing his technique, a unique approach to materials and style influenced by pop art and a critique of today’s mass media Finally, after several years in Belgium he settled down in Spain where he dedicated his career to fine art.

In his latest body of work, the Dutch artist Nemo Jantzen is combining skills obtained in the earlier years of his career as a painter, sketching his subjects on canvas or paper and learning about perspective, depth, contrast, and light. But instead of using conventional materials like charcoal and pencil, he is sketching his subjects using nothing but nails and one continuous thread.

By placing hundreds of stainless steel nails on a wooden board as his canvas, and using his photography as a road map, Nemo zigzags thread from nail to nail, layer over layer until magically his pieces take shape with a remarkable level of creativity and craftsmanship. By the use of delicate thread that casts subtle shades on the background, these dazzling pieces are not only extremely detailed, even photo-realistic; but also three-dimensional, changing by the light cast and perspective of the beholder. This new series sparked the immediate interest of Art collectors, journalists, interior designers, and art lovers alike from the moment he introduced the series to the public in 2018 at Art Miami.
