His recent work is entangled with his Surinamese roots and relates to global
citizenship in todays society. Jungerman uses collages, sculptures and installations
to show cultural critique(s) of the local and the global, the internal and the external.
He places traditional materials and objects in dierent contexts that challenge the
established notions of their representation within Western society. Jungerman
derives his inspiration from Afro-religious elements of the heritage of Maroon
culture in Suriname and the global black diaspora. At the same time he is also
inspired by Western traditions and trends in the arts. Jungerman uses color and
pattern references that both nod to the twentieth-century Dutch De Stijl movement
and a manifestation of black diaspora traditions.

In his Pimba Series, Jungerman combines cotton textiles relating to Suriname Afro-
religions and kaolin (clay) used in purification rituals in Surinam and the African
diaspora. As a sculptor, Jungerman brings a heightened awareness to his surfaces,
incising the clay to reveal the elaborate pattern of the textiles beneath.

With this series hes adding a dierent narrative to the art historical canon. A
narrative that shows references to the ritme of colonial plantation grid in Surinam
and the esthetics of the development of abstract patterns from an African heritage.
