About
Djos Janssens’ approach has evolved mainly towards three-dimensional pieces, towards the creation of sound and visual environments, in situ interventions taking into account the architecture and context of the places invested, and ephemeral public creations in the urban site. This practice and this reflection show the topicality of the approach.
Two constants appear in this work, whose aesthetic and conceptual qualities I have frequently underlined: on the one hand, the treatment of colour and, consequently, of light, and on the other, the participation of polysemous phrases.
From the relationship between the two data, one plastic, the other semantic, emerge questions, critical punctuations, shifts and superimpositions of meaning, bringing to the works a complexity rarely suspected at first glance.
Through interventions that appear simple at first glance, the artist shakes up the most solid stereotypes and challenges the commonplaces of both the gaze and understanding.
Through such a path, it is plastic thought that is analysed, reflected upon, applied, with an acute critical sense.
Claude Lorent, Critique d’art (aica), Commissaire d’expositions,– Bruxelles
Attentive to deconstructing the codes of our consumer society and its stereotypes, this artist works on the text and the context of his site-specific installations. Djos Janssens is one of the most productive and ingenious Belgian artists of his generation. Like all works that are built in the interstices and rough edges of their time, thwarting fashion to establish a meaning that is irreducible to morality, something about his installations always escapes interpretation…
Multidisciplinary visual artist Djos Janssens (°1964) lives and works in Liège. His works, always in search of meaning, have been exhibited since 1997 in galleries, art centres, museums and in the public space.
