JAAP VAN DEN ENDE
Recente Schilderijen (Recent Paintings)
2 April - 7 May, 2011
Jaap van den Ende (b. Delft, 1944) has built up quite an extensive oeuvre. He became internationally known for his abstract paintings from the sixties and seventies and from the nineties on he surprised everyone with paintings in which figuration plays a significant role. How different his work may appear throughout the years, one can see a definite connection with regard to form and content. Presenting his works in parts and the alternation of system and intuition can be seen as a coherent line throughout his oeuvre. As nature is an intricate web of processes and regularities, so is the Van den Ende created image a result of various systems and observations.
His paintings can be seen as an attempt to shape the complexity of attached and interrelated appearances. Nothing stands on its own - everything has a secret, and often impenetrable, structure. In his recent paintings Van den Ende has succeeded to uncover something that the mind can fathom but that always seems to escape from view.
Work of Jaap van den Ende can be found in the following museum collections: Stedelijk van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; Städtisches Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach; Museum Bochum, Bochum; Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Gemeentemuseum Den Haag; Museum De Lakenhal, Leiden; Van Reekum Museum, Apeldoorn; Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam; Stedelijk Museum Het Prinsenhof, Delft; Stedelijk Museum Schiedam.
