He evolved his work towards an abstract aesthetic in the early 2000s, with a genuine intention to create a new aesthetic, first on canvas, and then translating it back to large-scale murals. This is how his unique and dynamic style, characteristic of Jorgen, was developed. He defines his painting as a relatively selfish act, focusing primarily on the energy felt at the moment of painting, an energy that is then translated more or less raw onto the canvas.
The exhibition ‘Messy Pink’ by Jorgen offers a new perspective on the evolution of graffiti into a singular, and in this case, abstract practice. The compositions, however, still bear the hallmark of graffiti or tagging, found in both spray strokes and brush strokes. This blend of textures and techniques inevitably recalls the aesthetic of Jorgen’s mural art.
The contrast highlighted by the works, sometimes between fine shades and bold brush strokes or paint splashes, enhances the dynamism of the pieces presented in this unique exhibition. This fusion of methods not only emphasizes the artist’s roots in street art but also showcases his ability to transcend traditional boundaries, creating pieces that are as thought-provoking as they are visually striking.
