This is what the jury said on JEROEN EISINGA for his Ouborg Prijs win.
With utmost precision and penetrating depth, Jeroen Eisinga’s work has been praised in the jury report for the 2019 Ouborg Prize. Described as being of exceptional quality, his pieces captivate and linger in the mind. On Friday, November 22nd, he will officially receive the Hague City Prize, a joint initiative by the Municipality of The Hague, the Hague Art Museum, and Stroom The Hague.
Eisinga is a driven artist, never satisfied and always pushing boundaries. In his now iconic film, Springtime (2011), he allowed himself to be covered by a swarm of approximately 150,000 bees. His productions are painstakingly labor-intensive, resulting in a smaller oeuvre, but one that is truly remarkable. His films have been showcased at international festivals and art venues, and are also featured in numerous museum and private collections.
