Dutch painter

Artist alert: new acquisitions

About the artist - Jan Roeland

Jan Roeland was a Dutch painter. He trained as a teacher and was self-taught. His work was characterized by a quiet simplicity and a keen eye for form.

Although his oeuvre can be read as playful and accessible at first glance, his compositions are carefully considered and systematic. Roeland moved between figuration and abstraction, reducing everyday subjects such as birds, cups, knives or ladders to their most essential contours.

Jan Roeland taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Enschede and at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, where he had lived since 1959.

His work is included in the collections of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, the Rijksmuseum Twenthe in Enschede, the Dordrechts Museum in Dordrecht, the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam and in the collections of private individuals and companies.
