Archival pigment ink on Innova ”Soft Textured BrightWhite Photorag” with nutwood frame and museumglass

This work is part of the series Painted Room

In this series, Jan Theun van Rees explores the relationship between art and the spaces in which it is displayed. He photographs museum interiors through reflections in artworks or the glass of their frames. Blurred fragments of the original work remain visible, merging with the surrounding architecture and creating a new photographic composition.

This small-scale photograph was created at the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck in Germany during Silent Spaces, a retrospective exhibition of photographer Axel Hütte. The reflection shows how an artwork can shape the atmosphere and perception of the room around it.

This work is part of the series On an Overgrown Path

Jan Theun van Rees began with architectural photography, documenting overlooked spaces in museums and theatres. His practice has since moved from recording existing places to constructing temporary environments of his own. In Cyanorange, the subject is a space made through painted textiles, light and the artist’s changing point of view.

Van Rees adjusts the construction as he works, observing how each change affects the photograph. The image is therefore both a record and the outcome of an active process: a real arrangement of materials transformed into a space that exists for the camera and for the viewer’s eye. It continues his investigation into how photography can shape our perception of architecture, depth and place.

On an Overgrown Path #2 by Jan Theun van Rees

from €1,500.00

This work is part of the series On an Overgrown Path

Jan Theun van Rees approaches photography by creating the space he wants to photograph. For Overgrown Path 02, he uses painted textile structures to develop an environment that suggests dense growth and difficult terrain. He works from within the construction, responding to the way light, material and camera position alter the space.

Part of On an Overgrown Path, the work takes its title from Janáček’s piano cycle, whose short compositions connect emotion with moments in a life. Van Rees brings that sense of inward journey into photography. The resulting image holds a tension between attraction and unease: the viewer is drawn into a place that feels familiar, yet remains just beyond reach.

On an Overgrown Path #1 by Jan Theun van Rees

from €1,500.00

By Jan Theun van Rees
122 × 91,5 cm, ed. 3/3, 2026
Pigment in on acid free Canson Arches 88 - frame, raw nut veneer with spacers and muserumglass UV70
Also available in 60 × 45 cm, edition 2/5, 2026

This work is part of the series On an Overgrown Path

Jan Theun van Rees has spent much of his career looking at spaces in transition: museum backrooms, theatre stages and other places usually hidden from view. In Overgrown Path 01, that act of looking turns into construction. Van Rees builds a temporary environment from painted textiles, adjusting its surfaces and viewpoints as he works with the changing light.

The work belongs to On an Overgrown Path, a project named after Leoš Janáček’s piano cycle of fourteen short pieces, each associated with an emotion and a moment in life. Here, the constructed space becomes a landscape of the mind: a passage that draws us forward while resisting easy passage. The set exists for the camera; the photograph is what remains.
