Large, early work by Jan Moerbeek. The colors are applied in layers on top of each other. This makes the whole thing look very transparent. In the photos the colors appear bright, but in daylight it is much more mysterious and blurred.
Jan Moerbeek (1947) trained from 1977 to 1982 at the Academy of Visual Arts and Design in 's-Hertogenbosch (now Sint Joost). Since graduating in 1982, Jan has worked as an independent professional visual artist. He did teach for several years at the creative-technical MBO course St. Lucas in Boxtel and between 2006 and 2012 he was coordinator of the ABS, an organization that offers affordable workspaces for artists in 's-Hertogenbosch.
Jan Moerbeek's paintings could be called lyrical abstract. His interplay of lines suggests figuration, but this figuration is part of a broader visual language, which is based on a suspicion of reality, of which no one has a concrete idea, but which is often unconsciously present in all of us. His work touches a deeper reality.
