Hij gaat niet op zoek naar vooraf bepaalde thema\u0026rsquo;s, maar pikt afbeeldingen op die hem intrigeren. Door met dunne lagen olieverf een bijna fotografisch schilderij te cre\u0026euml;ren, wordt het proces van het schilderen \u0026ndash; hoe technisch verbluffend ook \u0026ndash; ondergeschikt aan het tonen van de macht van de representatie en de impact van het beeld.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eDe kunstenaar legt veelal nadruk op beelden die er op het eerste zicht haast banaal uitzien, maar die toch een blijvende lading hebben. Door accentverschuivingen en bewuste misvormingen krijgen zijn beelden soms een cynische dan weer een bevreemdende ondertoon. Net door te focussen op het ongrijpbare van de afbeelding, die steeds tot in de kleinste details haarfijn wordt uitgewerkt, evoceert hij bij de kijker een gevoel van gemis, alsof de essentie verloren is gegaan of ontbreekt.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ePour ses tableaux, \u003cstrong\u003eJan De Laur\u0026eacute;\u003c/strong\u003e s\u0026rsquo;inspire d\u0026rsquo;images existantes qu\u0026rsquo;il trouve dans les m\u0026eacute;dias.
