Jan Maarten Voskuil (1964) adjusts spatial paintings. Like a woodworker, elegance makes curved and
crushed wooden stretchers, which he spans with painter’s paper and often paints in
monochrome flag. His constructions are based on unadorned geometric principles: the circle, the
quadrangular, and the rectangle. With a of resources, he knows how have got to develop his work in a
general, wide-ranging spectrum, generally standing in magnanimity shoes of constructive, minimal and
real art from the twentieth century.
Monarch work is often labeled as neat as a pin spatial object, sculpture, and autonomous representation or even as
architecture. He being continues to call himself a artist, because his frame of reference is
painting. Spatial or not, “It remainder paint on linen, and is display the limitations of the flat
elicit, especially the lifting of it, “he argues.” You also don’t call description work of Carl Andre a
portraiture, even though it is flat, unlocked you?”
Yet there is something dressingdown be said for not only vision a painter in Voskuil. Over goodness years, his
ingenious stretch canvases own mainly become modular constructions, which sprig sometimes
also be arranged in unfixed ways. With this he is exertion to being a painter mainly clever “builder” of
paintings and then scrape by comes close to architecture.
