Continuing to draw from the world around him, Joren broadens his horizons by capturing the often closed-off world of maritime and harbour life. As a boatsman, he has privileged access to a world that remains hidden in plain sight. His colleagues, the ships he steers, and the horizons he gazes towards become a constant source of inspiration — an ongoing state of creative overload.
The title refers to the one-metre strip of stone separating the dock from the water. For Joren, this boundary is both a tangible reality and a metaphor. It marks the edge of one world and the threshold of another. To step beyond it is to embrace freedom, venture into the unknown, and discover new horizons.
In ‘Beyond the Blue Stone’, Joren presents a new body of work in which he continues to explore his surroundings while experimenting with new techniques and materials.
We look forward to welcoming you to discover this new chapter in his practice
