Remy Jungerman

Pimba AGIDA SUSA V, 2024

Remy Jungerman (b. 1959, Moengo, Suriname) explores the intersection of pattern and symbol in Surinamese Maroon culture, the larger African diaspora, and 20th century Modernism. As seen in ‘Pimba AGIDA SUSA V’ and ‘Pimba AISA (III)’, Jungerman places fragments of Maroon textiles and other materials found in the African diaspora, such as the kaolin clay used in several religious traditions, in direct contact with materials and imagery drawn from more “established” art traditions.
