Local fishermen are found worldwide but the landscape in Africa adds an extra dimension. I painted this work in a figurative expressionist style with acrylic paint on panel. My goal is to portray the atmosphere of Africa with fishermen, men and women, who are catching fish with small nets on a sea, river or lake for their daily meal. Our world is always busy producing more and more, this work makes you stop and think about the essence of life.

The work was created by using acrylic and ink on a panel and framed in a black wooden frame. The size of the painting is 40 x 40 cm mounted in a frame of 46 x 467 cm. (thickness about 1 cm) The work is signed on the back of the panel and on the back of the frame.

Larger sizes and prints on other materials are available as reproductions of this work.

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).
