Deux de dos – 1992

Jean Janssis

My paintings are labyrinths, it's acrylic paint on canvas, there is always only one solution and the solution writes a word. So if you draw the solution with a red marker for example, the marker line will write a word. I never reveal the word, it's secret, it's up to the client to find it. The word usually reflects the mood I am painting in. Some mazes are more complicated than others, some have thinner lines, some thicker, some allow you to see the word, some don't, it depends on my mood.
