With Red Room, Jan Theun van Rees continues his exploration of how space is perceived and constructed on the flat picture plane. The work is part of the Painted Room series, in which he intuitively builds and photographs entirely constructed environments.
Red Room exists solely to be photographed, a new, not-yet-existing reality created to express a particular spatial quality. The deep red appears to fill the room like a tangible presence, shaped by light and composition.
As in much of his recent work, Van Rees blurs the line between documentation and invention. Red Room invites the viewer to question what space is, how it comes into being, and the role perception plays in its formation.

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.
