In gedachten verzonken denkt deze vrouw na over wat mannen eigenlijk van haar verlangen. Zoals in een film, let op de schaduwen van een filmrol bovenaan, denkt zij na over haar wens om links te gaan terwijl mannen steevast rechts gaan. Deze gedachte wordt gesymboliseerd door de rode pijl bovenaan in contrast met de pijl onder het woord "mannen". Ik [...]
In gedachten verzonken denkt deze vrouw na over wat mannen eigenlijk van haar verlangen. Zoals in een film, let op de schaduwen van een filmrol bovenaan, denkt zij na over haar wens om links te gaan terwijl mannen steevast rechts gaan. Deze gedachte wordt gesymboliseerd door de rode pijl bovenaan in contrast met de pijl onder het woord "mannen".

Ik heb de vrouw afgebeeld in een korrelig zwart-wit om het filmische karakter van het werk te benadrukken. De pijlen en het woord mannen heb ik uitgevoerd als een neonreclame zoals je die veel ziet.

Ik heb het werk gebaseerd op de kunststijl van de "nouvelle vague" gecombineerd met elementen uit de film Taxi Driver.

Het resultaat dat ik wil bereiken is een portret van wat veel vrouwen voelen .... Wat willen mannen echt?

From his interests in both classical art and modern / contemporary art, Belgian artist Jan Keteleer (JanKé) works with different styles. Ancient art is one of his interests, but you can also find examples of his work in pop art and impressionism. If you browse through Jan Keteleer's portfolio, you will find beautiful nature scenes, painterly images of animals or pop art-based nudes.

After years of working in commercial photography, he turned his interest to artistic black and white photography. Projects such as Speechless, Silent Dialogues and Roots with Taboo brought him fame. He was inspired by the problems of the multicultural society in Belgium, the coexistence of different national and ethnic groups, the issue of the language barrier and the lack of dialogue between the "old" (the native population) and the "new" Belgians (the immigrants).

Today he has devoted himself entirely to digital painting. Using classical techniques such as acrylic and pastel, he creates individual elements that are then digitally brought together and finished.

JanKé attaches great importance to the social significance of his works and integrates them into the context of public space (stations, airports and public transport), prompting the viewer to react and reflect. His projects have received the support of the organization Sprakeloos, which aims to use art to provoke discussion on social issues.

He has had numerous exhibitions in Belgium (in Antwerp, Bruges, Lier, Leuven and Ghent), in the U.S. (in Dallas and San Francisco) and in Poland (in Krakow).
