Michiel Jansen Abstract Paintings

b. 1959

Michiel Jansen 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. Jansen himself has gained quite a reputation as well, resulting in numerous public and private commissions. Furthermore, his work has been exhibited widely in Netherlands and other European countries and is presented regularly at various (international) art fairs.

By Tony Moore

My work is concerned with the relationship of humanity and nature. I conceive of an expanded concept of “Nature” as embodying all existence, both the seen and unseen, socio-political events, daily occurrences, as well as private intuitions that are made concrete through creative action. My objects are places of remembrance where multiplicities of associations take place. Most recently these have been concerned with issues of the human condition. “In recent ceramic Fire Paintings...
