Jeroen Erosie: The Iterative Process

Is it possible to be both a minimalist and maximalist on the same surface? This is the sense you get when exploring the work of Dutch artist, Jeroen Erosie, who uses a clever mix of space and color to fill every inch of a sketchbook, canvas, and city wall with bright colors and shapes that are aesthetically gorgeous and gorgeously consuming. From illustration to bicycle graffiti, to murals and gallery work, Erosie has an architectural mind that has turned his whole career into what is almost a conceptual art practice. It’s abstract but direct. “I guess it means there is no fixed position,” Erosie tells me, “There's only curiosity.”
