Impenetrable depths, nature, density. Jan Davidoff’s new works reveal to us what looks like untouched nature, forest, trees and plants through the eyes of the artist. Using abstract visual language, the motifs are far removed from simply naturalistic representations. Instead, Jan Davidoff shows us, in painterly rapture, a side of nature that does not need people: unconquered wilderness, the auratic breath, a strangely nostalgic lighting, like the memory of a distant Paradise.
“Naturalisation” is a collection of Jan Davidoff’s most recent paintings accompanied by essays written by selected authors and dedicated poetically, lyrically and associatively to individual paintings.
