Clarity

Works in Jan’s Totems series present icons, objects, and scenes as metaphors for reflection on current events and themes relevant to contemporary living and his Colorfields are richly-saturated abstract-expressions that characterize his emotional response to events going on around him in the contemporary world.

This work in deep blue and white is a representation of a binary choice; ‘on’ or ‘off,’ ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ It is presented as a reflection on having the balanced presence and clarity-of-mind to know what you want, and what you don’t.
