Jan Burssens was a Belgian artist born in 1925 in Mechelen and died in 2002 in Merendree. He was a painter and graphic artist. Educated at the Academy in Ghent, where he later became a teacher himself. Awards at the Jeune Peinture Belge in 1951 and 1954. Founding member of the Group Art Abstrait. Evolved from lyrical abstraction to figurative expressionism with a feeling for matter and rich in colour. Painted many self-portraits. From the press 'JB calls himself 'the painter of the inside' and he proves this with his portraits. Far from the photographic, he reflects the essence of the portrayed.
Through the depiction of the face, the fixed gaze and the facial features applied with moving brushstrokes, he arrives at the essence and captures the depth and spirit of the person portrayed' and 'Driven by the urge for depth, the figurative alibis fade away to become signs and accusations. Human and animal figures speak a pictorial language full of horror, tornness and tenderness, monsters with soft sentences, armored and unapproachable parapet around a vulnerable heart.' Work to be in the Museums of Brussels, Kortrijk, Ghent and Ostend. Mentioned in BAS I and Two centuries of signatures of Belgian artists
