Opening reception: Artist of the Month, Jan ten Broeke: Biomorphic and Geomorphic Phenomena

Colorful, biomorphic painting by Jan ten Broeke.

Jan Ten broeke, “ten’s art 2014-6-16,” oil on canvas, 36” x 24”. image © Jan ten broeke, used with permission

Join us at Gallery on Main for an in-person reception celebrating an exhibition of paintings by our good friend, visionary painter Jan ten Broeke (1930–2019), whose “brush name” was Ten. See a selection of his paintings, mingle with other artists and art lovers, and enjoy a poetry reading by very special guest Paul Sohar. Admission is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there!

Drawing inspiration from nature, biology, and history, these elements are reflected in the abstract forms of Ten’s work. His paintings are characterized by biomorphic shapes and evolutionary forces, combining structures with forms typically found in nature. The fluidity of the shapes as they push and pull against each other give it a lifelike appearance of organisms from a prehistoric time.

Ten titled his work with his name and date of execution, instead of traditionally titling them because he believed traditional titles confuse the audiences’ perception of his paintings rather than clarifying it.

Ten’s work will be on view, and available for purchase, at Gallery on Main throughout May 2023.
