“Flow 01” 
"Flow 02"
Created for HATAK 
By Mariejon de Jong-Buijs

About the work:
The playfully placed images that are pictured here in the spaces are parts of a series of paintings currently in progress. In real life the paintings are 87 x 197 Inch and the painted strokes are applied with a rough roller. Looping with the paint-soaked roller, along the canvas, from left to right and top to bottom, each stroke is applied. The work is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, it involves a lot of physical effort. The intensive and repetitive sequences of actions create a certain flow. This series 'flow' refers to the flowing water. Water never stands still and it always moves differently, water can be devastating and beautiful.
