Jan Cornelissen

Jan cornelissen graduated in expanded painting at the rietveld academy, amsterdam (nl), in 2022 (dogtime-program). He currently continues with expanded paintings, which have evolved into minimalistic reliefs using different materials. He explores how both abstract and figurative structures may evoke space and how they behave in their surrounding space. He interrogates the interplay between light, shadow, and colour with these structures and how a gradual change of light in time may induce slow movement.

The spectator is invited to resonate in an optic-haptic way, to enter these virtual spaces, similarly as being seduced by a memory, that affects life at the concrete level. His spatial work also refers to infinite space and the universe and the incomprehensibility of infinity.
