ABOUT
THE NOMER STORY
This website is like my visual Curriculum Vitae. I did a lot of different things and I try to keep this site as up to date as possible. If you want to know what I am working on right now, please visit my new website www.nomer.studio.
NOMER (1977) is a pseudonym of Remon de Jong. I am a visual artist, animator and Dutch oldskool rapper, who started drawing cartoons, moved to graffiti and made series of paintings. In several Dutch cities you can find my sculptures and I’ve shown my work in musea and galeries. I worked for creative agencies, designing stuff and planning stategies to achieve goals. It is a lot of fun to work in both fields.
“I started making art in 1995. Murals, paintings, instalations and public sculptures. Later I discovered video and created preformances and animations. My life in art has always been about experimenting and trying new artforms. After a lot of different great projects, gaining a lot of expertise, my love for intriguing wall objects brought me to develop 17th century abstract art. My most personal work to date. I see myself as an artist in the Frisian tradition.”
CURRENT
abstracT ART
Creating wall objects with both digital and analogue techniques. I am researching how 17th century abstract art could have looked like.
ANIMATION
EXPLAINERS AND MUSIC VIDEOS
Making drawings come to life in animated videos for brands and artists. I started my own studio called Animatie.Online.
PAINT
LANDSCAPES VS STREET ART
I love abstract paintings. Working with spray cans and the visual language of graffiti, trying to combine the trashed urban alleys with the rural horizons.
SCULPTURE
PUBLIC ART AND INSTALATIONS
In several Dutch cities you can find sculptures and instalations that I’ve created. Some to stay, in the public space, some temporary in galeries or musea.
MUSIC

In 1995 I started rapping in Dutch. Performing on a lot of stages and in a lot of tv shows. In the meanwhile I became the founder of the Frisian rap.
