A pure painter, Jan ten Have entered the gallery in 2011. After a 17-year stay in Kythera, Greece. That pure painter Ten Have has always remained. But always working in other media. An artist also who gave himself the task of "painting himself away," leaving only the work that matters. During the time I work with Jan, he is constantly reinventing himself. 'Frank, forget everything I made before this, look at this!' Ten Have once stepped into a monastery asking if he could use their ceramic kilns, lived with the rhythm there and made porcelain paintings thinner than the monks thought possible. He did an artist-in-residence at the world-renowned EKWC and combined porcelain with glass. Now he has freed himself from the kilns and is making yet another step, in line with his oeuvre. Pulverized glass, lead, oil paint, but still paintings. And they are beautiful.

With his solo, the gallery also launches his feuilleton; an edition of 33, all unique, all different. Available per work for €40.00.

FLASH-BACK – solo - Daan den Houter

Daan den Houter brings together multiple, conflicting, subjects into one work. This results in pieces that are in conflict with themselves. It encourages discussion of one's own existence and the viewer's opinion. With humour and cynicism, he creates a different perspective on the subject matter of art and our own assumptions about our daily living environment.

FLASH-BACK shows the documentary about his 8-hour drawing factory for which he hired workers to literally turn their working time into drawings consisting of 8 simple lines. Part of his ongoing series of 8-hour drawings that he has been working on since 2002; this drawing consists of 8 simple lines that he puts down on paper during a working day. Signed and dated on that day, on which he took an hour over each line. The series is complete when he has finally drawn every date of the year. With the 8-hour drawing factory, Den Houter generated six drawings in one day without putting a line on paper himself.

In this retrospective, among other things, he completes his series WIGS with a fourth: wigs made from his own hair. With this, Den Houter explores his own identity as an artist. It offers him the opportunity, dressed as himself, to generate a persiflage on himself, by himself. So far he has made 4 wigs, the same hairstyle, at different periods in his life. Each wig is a self-portrait in the image but also in the encapsulated DNA structure in the hair. A flashback to another time preserved in the artist's dead cells.
