"Many artists can become quite particular about the materials they work with, but with Suzanne Jongmans, the materials she uses are inseparable from her art.   She has been creating &amp;#039;Foam Sculptures&amp;#039; of collars and caps that draw deeply on the style of Dutch and Flemish &amp;#039;Golden Age&amp;#039; paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries. For those unfamiliar with this period and style of painting, it was characterized by Classical aesthetic standards -- life-like proportions and color-composition -- and was inspired by the lives of actual, living people, rather than Judeo-Christian or Graeco-Roman historical and mythological figures. Essentially, it was a deeply humanist movement. Artists like Rembrandt and Jan de Bray epitomize the period.  Jongmans&amp;#039;s sculptures are made from packaging and insulation material, which are usually discarded after they are used. They are excellent examples of upcycled art."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
