€1,500.00

By Jan Theun van Rees
55 × 40 cm, edition 2/5 + 1 AP , 2025
Pigment ink on acid free Innova Soft Textured Bright White - pale wenge wood veneer frame (Nielsen) with Museumglass (UV70)

This work is part of the series Painted Room

In View 2, Jan Theun van Rees continues his exploration of constructed spaces that exist solely to be photographed. Rich red tones dominate the composition, while subtle blue and yellow accents add a sense of spatial tension and visual rhythm.

At the centre, a door-like shape appears slightly ajar, unlike the closed form in View 1. This small shift opens up a new narrative: a hint of access, a glimpse of what might lie beyond.

As with all works in the Painted Room series, View 2 is a visual proposition, suggesting space, movement and meaning through colour, light, and geometry alone.

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.

from €1,500.00

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.

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.
