Wil Jansen Paintress "IS IT A PAINTING?" In her oil pantings Wil Jansen uses motives from nature to start an investigation to the fundamental aspects from the art of painting. Looking for color and form, the properties of the material, searching for patterns, rhytm and regularity, structures, and the very special skin of paint. The outcome are coloured areas, lines, dots, stripes, cracks and kraters. Showing explicit how the paint, namelijk in repeterende dikke verflagen met het paletmes, is essentieel in haar schilderijen. The paintings are not the expression of emotions. Nor are they the result of abstract visions. The proces of painting is very important. A repetition of putting paint on and getting it of in movements. Creating form and structure that seem to be endless.
