SUSAN DE BOER . JAN VAN DEN BERG .
6 SEPTEMBER – 11 OCTOBER 2026
OFF THE WALL
The exhibition features the work by two artists who both paint using a distinctive, self-developed method in which material, form, and color are transformed into an image. The result is not a two-dimensional work, but an artwork that comes off the wall or seems to float on the canvas.
Off the Wall, a duo exhibition by Susan de Boer and Jan van den Berg.
Susan de Boer builds up a painting with multiple layers of oil paint applied on top of one another. Susan paints wet-on-wet with precisely placed brushstrokes. De Boer likes to paint with oil paint and enjoys the effects of this paint during the process. Each stroke dries exactly as it is painted. She zooms in and works with space and movement, thereby adding depth and making the paint appear to float.

The work of Jan van den Berg is about the act of painting, how it transforms into images, the relationship between form and size, between size and color, and between the size of the work in relation to the human scale. Van den Berg’s work is about space, an image of space, or an illusion of space. This continues until the painting presents itself in a weightless, immaterial form in which contradictions are resolved and self-evidence is inescapable. Van den Berg has developed a technique in which he paints with ink and colorful casein on transparent layers of paper on panel.
