About me
Through his Meetings and exhibitions in Belgium, France, England, Norway, Italy, Poland, Luxembourg, Peru; Jan Goris has built a style that is both personal and diverse.
Jan distinguished himself in several disciplines, including raw paper, oil paintings and stained glass.His work bears witness to a lyrical, contemplative and ethereal abstraction in which he occasionally incorporates figurative elements, like birds and horses.
Colours and mouvements mingle with the pleasure of free interpretation, like an imaginary journey. Bright or diluted, the colour medium causes a visual harmony of great sensitivity. (C.L.)
Volcanic or ethereal, the works are there, which speak in pure abstraction. The gaze lingers, plunges into extreme opacities, suddenly picks up the acute note , the tearing, the swaying of impalpable breezes. Violence and tenderness, strength, breath, beauty, calm. A world is revealed, unknown as well as familiar. (A.vM.)
