Biography Jan te Wierik (1954-2002)
Artist Jan te Wierik born in Hengelo (1954) and died in 2002.
In his early years his paintings were rather abstract in nature; later form became more important.
The intention of his work remained unchanged, but the expressiveness of the figures depicted became stronger. Despite the clearer figuration, he still worked from direct emotion, through impulsive actions. He rarely worked with a preconceived plan.
Jan typically used a variety of materials for his paintings and worked on any surface he deemed suitable. He could use oil paint, acrylics, pigments, and acrylic lacquer separately, but he wasn't afraid to combine them, which created the most unique effects.
He didn't think and returned to his childhood, playfully creating a composition that could be abstract or figurative. His figures, mythical creatures, and landscapes are matched only by the mind of a child.
In short, Jan was an artist who expressed all his primal thoughts from within on canvas. His work, therefore, expresses oppression, hilarity, tragedy, love, and sorrow, but never resignation. He lived for art, and a certain drive within him contributed to the desire to express everything he felt, experienced, encountered, and saw in his own form. His paintings continue to increase in value due to their limited availability.
