In addition to showcasing Peerdeman’s expressive technical creativity, this works display the human conflict, the duality of our existence through combining gruesome aesthetics with a glorified context that become neutralized within the framework of each composition. Depicting disconcerting scenes of repulsive, distorted and skull-like figures playing music with weapons and bones, Peerdeman’s human-scale figurative scenes create a mystifying imagery with a sarcastic connotation. The works’ textural dynamics echo Peerdeman’s artistic approach - their pictorial ambiguity becomes amplified through the contrasting combination of vivid accent colors, glossy lacquer paint, and softly curving surface edge lines with the material’s crude appearance, its subdued natural tone and the imprint of the force of the application.
