Jürgen Jansen works are a product of chance, calculation, planning, and improvisation.
Jansen pours, drops and sprays his paints, turning their chance constellations into the starting point for structures and ornaments. Since the paint dries very slowly, Jansen easily wipes it off, removes it or mixes them with other colors, creating new forms. The underlying levels shimmer through the luminous and transparent skin of paint.
