Folkert de Jong (born 1972) is a Dutch artist. He makes large-scale sculptures and installations.[citation needed]
De Jong was born in Egmond aan Zee in the Netherlands.[citation needed] De Jong’s installations are life-size representations of disturbing scenes including human figures and props formed from materials such as polyurethane and Styrofoam;[1] his work often features the uncanny and takes influence from the aesthetics of horror and the history of conflict, war and politics.[2]
