Jan Voss
À suivre…

Past: November 26, 2015 → January 30, 2016

“Art is not behind us, but ahead of us” asserted Jan Voss recently. This may explain why his new exhibition is entitled “A suivre” [to be continued]… After three well-received exhibitions this summer in La Rochelle, Royan and Saint Malo, and the publication of an important monograph by Hazan, the artist shows us history has not drawn to an end, there are plenty of creations still to come. At 79, he continues to paint, cut out, glue and sculpt with total inhibition. His hands bring shapes and colours together as incongruous objects, mazes with no exits, sparse characters and improvised scenes. These new works manifest the “malicious interrogations” and “subversive games” that, according to Anne Tronche, characterise Jan Voss’ “incessant quest”.
