Jan Luitzen de Vries completed a university degree in Dutch and worked for several years in the corporate world, before devoting himself completely to artistry as a self-taught artist. Visibly fascinated by comic strips and the art of Matisse, Wesselmann and Lichtenstein, Vries describes his work as a naked lust for color and form.
Vrie's paintings are characterized by bright, almost fluorescent colors and sharp, enlarged images that, as it were, rumble into the retina. The uncomplicated storyline makes his work accessible to everyone. The rising and setting suns, clouds, splashing waves and deserts form the landscape side of his work, but there are also nocturnal cityscapes, geometric views and stained glass mosaic scenes.
De Vries' pop art translates images from comic strips into colossal canvases. His paintings are not literal enlargements. The "originals" used are not explicitly adapted to their new task. These adjustments mainly have to do with changes needed to keep the extremely large image self-explanatory. Kunstuitleen.nl has many original canvases and serigraphs by Jan Luitzen de Vries in the collection.
