Jan van Diemen (Amsterdam, 1954)
Born in Amsterdam in 1954, studied MO-B Drawing from 1973 to 1978, also in Amsterdam, and has lived in Amstelveen since 1970. His love for the subject of sports already arose during his studies. Working on canvas and paper, he manages to capture the dynamics and lyricism of the (top) athlete in series of oil paints, gouaches and silkscreens, usually in very large formats. His abstract-expressionist way of working not only gives full attention to the athlete's performance, but also to the atmosphere and the (landscape) environment of the sport chosen as the subject. A bright, never restrained colour scheme is combined by Jan van Diemen with energetic lines. His preference for drawing-like elements allows him to greatly increase the intensity of the action or the sporting event. While the work is stylistically unmistakably related to the expressionism of Kees van Bohemen, Pieter Defesche and Karel Appel, but also shows influences from Willem de Kooning, for example, Jan van Diemen has managed to acquire a unique place within contemporary visual arts over the past three decades through his distinctive visual language.
