Jan Van Imschoot: The End is Never Near
réf. 455704Yale University Press. Hardcover. Good. 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. 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.
