Jan Wille (born 1959 in Ghent, Belgium) — Blessed Are the Simple-Minded, 1978** Canvas, 115 x 75 cm
This remarkable work by Jan Wille, titled *Blessed Are the Simple-Minded* and dated 1978 on the back of the canvas, is distinguished by its generous dimensions (115 x 75 cm) and vibrant composition. Through a bold palette dominated by deep blues, brilliant yellows, intense reds, and contrasting blacks, the artist composes a visual world that is both energetic and meditative.
The surface of the canvas is animated by a juxtaposition of geometric and organic forms, evoking in turn circular motifs, sinuous lines, and dynamic angles. The thick layers of paint, applied with assertive gestures, give the whole a tactile texture and an almost sculptural depth. This technique is reminiscent of the expressiveness of **abstract expressionism**, where the spontaneity of the gesture takes precedence over figurative representation.
