ARTIST INFORMATION

Jacques Tange (1960) has been chosen as most promising artist in the competition for ´Artist of the year 2005´. This is no surprise, regarding the very identifiable character of his work. Every spectator recognizes something in these oil paintings and pastels. In spite of their bright and cheerful colors and stylized, simple looking figures, Jacques Tanges´ paintings bring across deeper feelings. They ooze a sometimes even oppressive feeling of desire: desire for love, lust, for the past or exotic places. They take the spectator into a different world, a dream world with many symbolic and humoristic references to everyday life.
