Caspar Jansen | Tales of an Orange Tree

In Tales of an Orange Tree, Caspar Jansen continues his meditative exploration of material and memory through richly textured abstraction. The work radiates with golden ochres, coppery warmth, and traces of verdant oxidation — a chromatic language evocative of sunlight filtering through aged bark or the slow burn of transformation in nature’s cycle.

Jansen’s process, marked by intricate layering and controlled corrosion, invites the viewer to consider how time weaves its own stories into the surface of matter. The result is both earthly and ethereal: a painting that feels alive with quiet motion, like sap rising or light shifting through leaves at dusk.

A poetic balance of structure and spontaneity, Tales of an Orange Tree embodies Jansen’s continuing dialogue between organic decay and renewal, rendered with a masterful sensitivity to tone, depth, and texture.
