RONÉL DE JAGER 'Little Miss Verified', 2023 Oil on canvas 800 × 800 mm (framed)
RONÉL DE JAGER
b. 1985 - Johannesburg, RSA
Ronél De Jager obtained a BTech (Fine Arts) Degree at the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria in 2006. She currently lives and works in Johannesburg.
De Jager's work shifts between painting, sculpture and installation. She deals with concepts of time, environmental concerns and with personal narratives as microcosms of broader social issues.
In her oeuzvre, transience is the constant, change the leitmotif, both conceptually and formally. Her works demonstrate the continuous transformation to which every form is subjected, and reflect on the eternal processes of becoming and of passing away. In this, she resonates with philosopher and sociologist Georg Simmel: "By 'nature", we mean the endless connection of things, the uninterrupted production and negation of forms, the flowing unity of occurrence that is expressed in the continuity of temporal and spatial existence. Matter, every kind of material, is constantly in a process of transformation."
