Stop by Markowicz Fine Art to see “Effortless Grace” by Dutch artist Nemo Jantzen!

Dutch artist Nemo Jantzen combines skills obtained in the early years of his career as a painter, sketching his subjects on canvas or paper and learning about perspective, depth, contrast, and light. But instead of using conventional materials like charcoal and pencil, he is sketching his subjects using nothing but nails and one continuous thread.

By placing hundreds of stainless steel nails on a wooden board as his canvas, and using his photography as a road map, Nemo zigzags thread from nail to nail, layer over layer until magically his pieces take shape with a remarkable level of creativity and craftsmanship. By the use of delicate thread that casts subtle shades on the background, these dazzling pieces are not only extremely detailed, even photo-realistic; but also three-dimensional, changing by the light cast and perspective of the beholder.

This intricate and detailed artwork must be seen in person, so make sure to stop by Markowicz Fine Art and check it out!
