Jan Wessel

born in Skanderborg Denmark 1952 Jan Wessel

In the painter Jan Wessels artistic universe meets it wandering with the picturesque, the playful with the thoughtful, and the solemn with the dramatic.
Jan Wessel are working with forms of expression such as painting, lightboxes, collage, monotypes, lithography, assemblage and installation and we meet in various exhibitions some of which might seem familiar, perhaps for some a flashback to something previously experienced, forgotten ! Yet deeply buried in consciousness.
Numerous associations and references linking out to Jan Wessels pictorial space, which represents an entanglement of life and art, but not the least contains the artist's personal look at the life and art of comprehensive image potential. It can be lived contrasting beauty and transience, or different art formers characteristic imagery.
Jan Wessel compiles some of his more well-known motifs with new motifs, thus brings the viewer out of the new visual and thematic experiences.
Jan Wessel has exhibits at fairs and galleries in Germany, Japan, England, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
He is represented at various museums and foundations in Denmark
