ABOUT ME
My name is Norberto De Jesús Jr. and I am an artist from Anchorage, Alaska.
My work seeks to illustrate the paradoxical nature of the human experience. Inspired by the cryptic symbolism of esoteric art, the sentiments & narratives of American Realism, and the dream-like imagery of metaphysical art, every piece is an invitation into a realm of introspection and contemplation. I have titled this artistic venture “The Metamodern Project” because it reflects the spirit of metamodernism.
WHAT IS METAMODERNISM?
“Metamodernism oscillates between a modern enthusiasm and a postmodern irony, between hope and melancholy, between naiveté and knowingness, empathy and apathy, unity and plurality, totality and fragmentation, purity and ambiguity.”
- Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker
