Jan Kuhlemeier: Under the same sun
We are very excited to announce an upcoming solo show by Jan Kuhlemeier!
Dutch artist Jan Kuhlemeier (b. 1992) creates vibrant, abstract paintings that immerse viewers in a world of color. Inspired by his travels and deep connection to nature, his work captures the richness of diverse landscapes—from glowing sunsets to the rhythmic motion of water.
In Under the same sun, Kuhlemeier explores fleeting moments of natural beauty and the ever-changing interplay of light and color. Influenced by his passion for surfing and the reflective qualities of water, his compositions dissolve the boundary between depth and surface. Through a meticulous process of layering pigments and scraping paint across the canvas, he creates luminous fields of color that seem to float, radiating quiet intensity.
His work offers a pure experience of color, where hues blend and shift in mesmerizing harmony, evoking a sense of serenity and wonder. The immersive quality of his paintings draws viewers in, balancing movement and stillness to create an atmosphere that is both meditative and dynamic.
The result is a sensory journey—one that invites viewers to drift through shifting horizons and light. Yet, upon closer inspection, the illusion unravels, revealing the textures of the canvas beneath. With an evocative palette and precise gestures, Kuhlemeier transforms color and movement into a poetic exploration of nature’s ever-changing and universal beauty.
