eine art galerie

Since 2000, Jan Aine worked briefly as a media designer and since then as art and creative director of an in-house design department. Since 2008, he has been working fully analogue again in his Kreuzberg studio (Berlin).

In search of what a work needs to express itself, I set myself a limited square frame and developed a very narrow color space. This clear reduction is contrasted by an explosion of the surface. It is not a closed surface, but a torn open, worked surface that has something to experience and tell.

This way of working creates an engagement with temporal processes. My creative process takes place in several work cycles, so it takes time and expresses time at the same time. He describes his work as follows:

"In my abstract relief painting I have found a way to follow my intuition, which immediately breaks through when I enter my studio. Driven by the urge of my inner images, I express my constant curiosity. I am constantly looking for a dialogue between my works and the viewer. In this way, the multi-layered discussion leads to my works also being seen as a mirror of my environment."
