About Jan
"A hundred-year-old piano placed in my childhood room developed a strong sense for harmony in me and apparently started my longing for art. Today, the main driver for my own creations is the fight between harmony and chaos, the search for the ultimate equilibrium."

Imagine...

This captivating piece masterfully employs the style of Geometric Deconstructivism to reimagine the iconic visage of John Lennon. Set against a stark black background, the composition is a striking interplay of form and color.

The painting is dominated by four bold, golden lines that intersect with precise intent, creating a dynamic structure that anchors the composition. These lines serve not only as visual guides but also as symbolic elements, hinting at the crossroads and intersections of Lennon's life and career.

Within this framework, each circle, meticulously placed, contributes to a fragmented yet cohesive image of Lennon, evoking the mosaic of his multifaceted persona. The circles vary in hue, with most of Lennon's features rendered in warm brown tones, capturing the essence of his grounded and earthy presence.

At the heart of the painting, the distinctive blue round glasses, that Lennon famously wore, are rendered with a striking clarity, drawing the viewer's eye and grounding the abstract forms in a recognizable reality. The contrasting blue of the glasses suggests a vision or a realm of imagination, inviting the viewer to see the world through Lennon’s visionary perspective. This choice of color alludes to the transcendent and hopeful themes of his famous song "Imagine," hinting at a world seen through lens of creativity and possibility.

The use of Geometric Deconstructivism in "Imagine..." not only pays homage to John Lennon but also challenges the viewer to see beyond the surface. The artwork invites an exploration of how simple geometric shapes and strategic use of color can convey complex emotions and narratives, reflecting both the artist's skill and Lennon's enduring legacy of imagination and hope.
