Jus Juchtmans’s paintings would not be consIDered monochromes in the most narrow sense of the word, given the perceptible presence of multiple colours in his paintings. But there is no denying the engagement of his work has with the monochrome, especially with the way in which the Minimalist artists of the 1960s had been involved in it. Juchtmans paintings promote the project first set out by these artists, by acknowledging temporality as a significant factor and incorporating it as an essential element within his work. By doing so, his work makes the role of time prominent in our aesthetic experience of art. It not only restores the aesthetic to its position, but reinvents and updates it in the process. Juchtmans’s paintings can, therefore, in this manner be seen as ‘paintings of time’.
