Step into a world where reality is playfully challenged and the vibrant colors of humanity take center stage. Introducing the breathtaking painting of a portrait of an African girl by the visionary artist, Jan Keteleer. In a world where prejudice and judgment based on skin color persist, Keteleer invites us to question the very essence of these colors by separating them into distinct planes. Using his masterful technique of applying paint with a palette knife instead of a traditional brush, Keteleer breathes life into his subject, infusing it with an immediate and striking style. With each deliberate stroke, he challenges the conventional boundaries of artistry and captivates our senses, evoking a spectrum of emotions that transcend the limits of societal norms. As you gaze upon this exquisite painting, you'll be enraptured by the boldness that emanates from its planes. The texture created by the palette knife technique adds depth and dimension, inviting you to immerse yourself in the rich, tactile experience that Keteleer has crafted. The vivid hues dance across the canvas, telling a story of resilience, beauty, and transcendence. This masterpiece is available to grace your walls in a variety of sizes, ensuring that every intricate detail is preserved. Whether you choose to showcase it in its original form or opt for a high-quality reproduction on alternative materials, the essence of Keteleer's thought-provoking creation will remain intact, mesmerizing all who encounter it.

From his interests in both classical art and modern / contemporary art, Belgian artist Jan Keteleer (JanKé) works with different styles. Ancient art is one of his interests, but you can also find examples of his work in pop art and impressionism. If you browse through Jan Keteleer's portfolio, you will find beautiful nature scenes, pictures of animals or pop art-based nudes. After years working in commercial photography, he turned his interest to artistic black and white photography. Projects such as Speecless, Silent Dialogues and Roots with Taboo brought him fame. He was inspired by the problems of the multicultural society in Belgium, the coexistence of different national and ethnic groups, the issue of the language barrier and the lack of dialogue between the "old" (the native population) and the "new" Belgians (the immigrants). JanKé attaches great importance to the social significance of his works and integrates them into the context of public space (stations, airports and public transport), prompting the viewer to react and reflect. His projects have received the support of the organization Sprakeloos, which aims to use art to provoke discussion on social issues. He had numerous exhibitions in Belgium (in Antwerp, Bruges, Lier, Leuven and Ghent), in the U.S. (in Dallas and San Francisco) and in Poland (in Krakow).
