Jan Roeland 1935 - 2016

Représenté par:

Throughout his career he must have made countless compositions entitled Duck. In the work of painter Jan Roeland (1935-2016) the head and beak of the duck regularly recur. Roeland brought the heads back to their essence with a few stylized lines. He did the same with other birds that regularly appeared, such as the stork and the goose, as well as with everyday objects such as envelopes, knives, hammers and plants.

Jan Roeland worked in series: "I vary a lot on a theme until I am bored to death. At the moment of saturation a tension disappears. And then you get the same tension from something new that usually starts with a drawing." Roeland simplified his subjects to a form suitable for the flat surface of the canvas. His abstraction was never confusing or incomprehensible, but rather joyful and humorous.

This sense of humour is not just due to the stylized heads, plants and objects. For the self-taught Jan Roeland, everything in a composition had to be exactly right. The angle with which a branch was attached to the stem of a flower, the length of the table legs, and the interplay of colours were all equally important. In addition, Jan Roeland had a very precise way of painting. Almost all of Roeland's lines, surfaces and shapes are monochrome, plain and even.
In order to make the surfaces as even as possible, Roeland applied several layers of oil paint. This makes all surfaces seem equally important, including the residual spaces around the object or animal. This equivalence of the surfaces has a pleasantly disruptive result, allowing the viewer to experience the subject in a different way, as in the series Tables. Roeland’s tables are not tables because you can put something on the tabletop, but because of the residual space underneath. The tables form, as it were, a frame of the space where you can put your legs.
