Ruimte + Plaats exists in the space between constructed and existing environments, where Jan Theun van Rees’ practice comes together. While his earlier work focused on documenting specific spatial qualities, his more recent approach involves actively shaping and manipulating spaces to visualise their essence. This series is neither a straightforward record of a place nor a fully fabricated scene but instead occupies an in-between state where reality and interpretation merge. It highlights not just the physical aspects of space but also the experience of it, how a place takes form through light, perspective, and our perception of it.

This work is part of the series Painted Room
Licht Omloop is part of Jan Theun van Rees' ongoing series Painted Room. Through a process of constructing, observing and continuously repositioning elements in relation to changing daylight, the artist creates photographs in which colour and space remain in constant flux.
In Licht Omloop, warm orange tones are balanced by areas of aqua blue and subtle touche of purple. The image hovers between abstraction and architecture, suggesting depth and movement without revealing the temporary set from which it emerged. Rather than depicting an existing space, the work presents a carefully constructed situation in which light, perspective and colour come together in a single moment.
