Jan-Hein Arens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan-Hein Arens (born 23 September 1974 in Vught, the Netherlands) is a Dutch painter/sculptor, who works with bright colors and thick black lines. Arens is influenced by COBRA, Jackson Pollock and the drawings of his four year old daughter.
[edit] Technique
Arens' paintings and cast concrete sculptures are usually built up from layers. Often drawings of body parts, such as eyes or mouths, are superimposed onto a base layer of geometric figures. The work is then augmented with thick black lines, text, and paint thrown directly onto the canvas.
[edit] History
Arens had shows in different galleries in the Netherlands. He also makes short movies, illustrations and uses different print techniques like linocut, silk screen print and stencilling.
