Rutger Hauer by JYNT is a distinctive contemporary portrait in which a Dutch film icon is brought together with one of the greatest masters of Dutch art history: Rembrandt van Rijn.
From Turkish Delight and Soldier of Orange to his international breakthrough as Roy Batty in Blade Runner, Hauer became an actor whose presence was recognised around the world.
In this artwork, two Dutch icons meet. Rutger Hauer’s unmistakable presence is intertwined with a subtle reference to Rembrandt’s world of light, shadow and portraiture. The result is an intriguing encounter between classical painting and contemporary mixed media art.
Photography, painting and multiple visual layers merge together. Familiar and unfamiliar, classical and contemporary, reality and imagination exist side by side.
Is it Rutger Hauer? Is it Rembrandt? Or have they become part of one new image?
The confusion is the intention.
The result is a unique artwork bringing together Dutch culture, cinematic history and classical art. A powerful statement piece for admirers of Rutger Hauer, Blade Runner, Rembrandt, iconic portraits and contemporary art.
