“Не буває тираній, які б не намагалися обмежити мистецтво, бо вони бачать його силу. Тільки мистецтво передає почуття.”

Untitled, 2014

oil on paper

Jan De Lauré paints to show fragments of the world that might otherwise go unnoticed by the viewer. The work Untitled is a 'fossilised', timeless image. The grand emotions are absent from this painting; it mainly evokes an introverted, melancholic atmosphere. The figures are portrayed isolated from the world, which lend a sinister sensation to his works. As can be seen in this girl, who one would expect to be holding a doll, rather than a baby. The viewers have to provide their own interpretation.
