A selection has been made with work from the past twenty years. The focus is mainly on large and monumental work which consists of paintings and sculptures.
III = II, a solo exhibition by Jan van den Berg.
Jan van den Berg’s work is about the act of painting, how it transforms into images, the relationship between shape and size, size and color, and between the size of the work in relation to the human scale. It is about space, an image of space or an illusion of space. This until the painting presents itself in a weightless, immaterial form in which contradictions are resolved and self-evidence is inescapable. Van den Berg has been exhibiting his work in The Netherlands and abroad. Among these occasions are Museum Belvédère (Heerenveen) and Metropolitan Museum (Tokyo, Japan). His work is part of various private and public collections. Jan van den Berg has spent a long time researching to develop a technique that makes it possible for him to create his ideal image. By combining painting with ink and colorful casein paint on transparent layers of paper on panel, he has found his ideal working method. Removing the apparent contradiction between drawing on paper and painting on canvas and combing these two techniques is one of the great achievements that characterize the work of Jan van den Berg.
