Caspar Jansen | A Head of The Times
A Head of The Times by Caspar Jansen embodies the artist’s ongoing fascination with the passage of time and the quiet poetry of surface transformation. The composition unfolds in a restrained palette of mineral whites, oxidised greens, and soft violets — a luminous field that evokes the weathering of stone, the fading of memory, and the subtle grace of erosion.
The work’s delicate textural strata — crackled, layered, and burnished — invite slow contemplation, revealing the tension between permanence and impermanence. Jansen’s material alchemy transforms raw pigment into something almost geological: a meditation on how beauty can emerge through decay and how light finds its way through layers of age.
Reflective and introspective, A Head of The Times captures Jansen’s unique ability to merge the scientific precision of patina with an almost spiritual sensibility, resulting in a surface that feels timeless — both ancient and newly reborn.
