"Poetic
Expressionism" . . . . . . . . . .
In bright colours I try to give an image of the
way I see the world, life and the human menagery.
Not to criticize the formely mentioned but to
recompose them, transform them into my world.
With humour, relativity but not blind for the
negative things in the world.
I like to shape my work as a poem, musicaly
composing with lines and colours, playing with
perspective. Looking at the works you can discover
a little influence by 14th and 15th century
illumunated manuscripts and 20th century expressionism.
About the WORK:
In a melange of patterns in sultry reds, candy
greens, and vivid blues, Jacques Tange creates
delightful vignettes of a more playful life
than the ordinary, with imagined cityscapes
and sunny neighborhoods, romantic evenings and
languid summers. Punctuated by the charming
and recurring appearance of feline figures,
Tange's art exudes a certain cheer, carefree
sensuality and charismatically lackadaisical
spirit. Coy and aloof, the cats assume a fullness
of personality that equals that of their human
companions. Tange's human figures display a
simplicity of features, while their postures
and body language truly reveal the character
of each.
In a candid and lighthearted style of representation,
Tange paints curling clouds, cerulean-colored
cats and medallion-like suns, creating a vivid
world like that of a boundless stage set or
landscape of imagination. Vibrant and fanciful,
his paintings possess an aesthetic rhythm and
balance of composition that is carried through
each work.
Tange has participated in numerous exhibitions
throughout Europe, and has recently been selected
as "the most promising artist of the year,"
in the Artist of the Year Elections in the Netherlands.
