Jan Bollaert Contemporary Art Paintings


Belgian artist Jan Bollaert says:

In general, my goal is to combine the artistic craftsmanship of classical painting with the limitless possibilities of imagination in contemporary art... If I have anything to convey at all in my work the very least I can do is to paint it well...

It is not a retro-style. I'm not endeavouring to revive the sixties or copy any of the great giants of popart. No, I want to make contemporary, post-conceptual art. There is enough pretentious, cerebral, coolly calculated, analytical and de-constructive art out there already.

Art history is based on altering other people's work, maybe you should pick up a book once in a while and read about it.
