Jan Van Imschoot: The End Is Never Near - Philippe Van Cauteren

Descriere Jan Van Imschoot: The End Is Never Near - Philippe Van Cauteren

\nA comprehensive overview of the oeuvre of Belgian painter Jan Van Imschoot \n A comprehensive overview of the oeuvre of Belgian painter Jan Van Imschoot (b. 1963), whose contemporary work builds bridges to predecessors such as Caravaggio, Tintoretto, Goya, and Manet. \n \n Van Imschoot's painting consciously opts for a clear, sometimes contradictory and ironic style. The directness of his decisive brushwork and his balanced yet audacious use of color is strikingly contemporary, while his work draws on historical themes from literature and art history. In this way, Van Imschoot engages in a continuous dialogue with the past, in which he, with a dose of cynicism, often targets phenomena or figures that find themselves on the fringes of (contemporary) society. \n \n Bringing together more than 220 works by Van Imschoot with five accompanying texts, this book gives fresh insight into the painting practice of this Belgian master. \n \nDistributed for Mercatorfonds\n
