Janssen und das Holz
In the organizer's words:
Horst Janssen's fascination with wood as a motif and as a working material is the main theme of an exhibition for the first time. As a motif, it forms an essential element in his work and extends far beyond the traditional landscape image. Influenced by the North German cultural landscape with its different types of trees, the patterns, structures and shapes of the bark, branches and groups of trees form the creative basis for the majority of his drawings and prints.
Dissecting and exploring
For Janssen, wood is a visual research object and medium on several levels of meaning. His own photographic documentation in nature serves him in his search for line and expression, as does the creative dissection of wooden forms of expression. Sometimes light moods are captured, sometimes directions of growth are precisely recorded in drawings. His role models are often the old masters, whom Janssen has studied in detail.
