Beautiful oil painting on board,
"Backlight still life" with striped flower pot.
René Jansen (1956-2022) has established his name as a painter for a long time. His well-known still lifes are characterized by 'chance arrangements'. He preferred to let his compositions arise spontaneously and randomly. René Jansen was a master in analyzing and recombining many shapes and colors into a dynamic whole. Time and again he managed to capture the right atmosphere and find the balance between suggestion and the elaboration of details. His paintings are a skilled play of light, color and shape in which the painter's enthusiasm is visibly present.
René Jansen has actually transcended the term 'still life painter'. His paintings are much more than arranging and displaying objects until they form a beautiful composition. He created tangible atmospheres, full of passion and life, now with the layering and lived-in character of a fresco that has only become more beautiful over the years.
René Jansen was trained at the Minerva Academy in Groningen.
