About the Item
Space is a unique contemporary modern sculpture painting by Dutch artist Michiel Jansen. This wall relief is made from dozens of indivually cut strips of pure grey black slate. First a basic slate composition is made, which is slightly different each time due to the nature of this organic material. Then the parts are assembled using a special adhesive and a further reinforcement of metal rods on the inside. Finally, the outside edges of the sculpture are smoothened and finished with a thin layer of pure ultramarine blue powder pigment. The contrast between the stone surface and the powder pigment is beautiful and intriguing at the same time. The result is a work that weighs roughly seven kilos which, when mounted on a wall, seems to defy the law of gravity by just hanging there.
Michiel Jansen (1959, Netherlands) graduated from HKU University of the Arts Utrecht to become a certified teacher in drawing, painting and art history, a position that he still holds today. Sometime after his graduation he developed a natural interest in creating autonomous art as well. In particular he was intrigued by the sculptural possibilities of slate, a fine-grained foliated metamorphic rock type.
He rearranges the layers of the material and creates new shapes from it, often inspired by nature although he also investigates the effects of geometric contrast in his sculptures. Through a laborious process of cutting, chopping, shearing, kitting, drilling, inserting structural support and grinding, he creates objects that often are characterized by a compact static appearance or a more open rhythmic composition. He regularly adds pure, intensely coloured pigments to his work giving an extra dimension to the grey-black natural colour of the slate.
On a conceptual level his work is related to artists such as Piet Mondriaan, Elsworth Kelly and Anish Kapoor, who he all admires a lot. Michiel Jansen himself has gained quite a reputation as well, resulting in numerous public and private commissions. Furthermore his work has been exhibited widely in The Netherlands and other European countries and is presented regularly at various (international) art fairs.

Provenance: Collection of the Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach, Florida (Museum Inventory No. t.13.2000.053.) Thomas Nozkowski was an American contemporary painter. He achieved a place of prominence through his small scale paintings and drawings that push the limits of visual language. His work appeared in more than 300 exhibitions over the past 40 years. He had more than 70 solo exhibitions, and 24 of his paintings were featured in a large-scale retrospective in 1987 at Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC Nozkowski was born in Teaneck, New Jersey and raised in Dumont, where he graduated from Dumont High School in 1961.
