Janssens Djos

Janssens Djos

1964

The approach of Djos Janssens has evolved mainly towards three-dimensional pieces, towards the creation of sound and visual environments, in situ interventions taking into account the architecture and the context of the invested places, ephemeral public realizations in the urban site. This practice and this reflection show the topicality of the approach.
Two constants appear in this work of which I frequently underlined the aesthetic and conceptual qualities, on the one hand the treatment of the color and consequently of the one of the light, on the other hand the participation of polysemic sentences.
From the relation between the two data, one plastic, the other semantic, spring questions, critical punctuations, shifts and superimpositions of meaning, bringing to the works a complexity rarely suspected at first sight.
By interventions at first sight simple, the artist shakes the most solid stereotypes and puts at evil the common places of the glance as well as of the comprehension.
Through such a path, it is the plastic thought which is analyzed, reflected, applied, with the acute critical sense.
