JUS JUCHTMANS
°1952, Antwerp (BE)
Lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium
The Minimalist artists rejected the dominance of visual perception and presented the IDea of artworks as objects to be experienced, to be made aware of. The monochrome became something more than a painting, it was also a sculpture, or more specifically, an object. In the work of Robert Ryman and Frank Stella, painting changed its nature. No longer were their paintings to be seen for their visual impact. They were experienced as three-dimensional and every aspect of their materiality was now part of their perception as artworks. This included the canvas stretchers, upon which the paint was applied, the thickness of the paint, as well as the conditions in which the work was “framed”, i.e. the conditions of the gallery space. One of the things the Minimalist artists had tried to achieve was an aesthetic that took into account, and heightened the viewers’ awareness of the artworks’ immediate surroundings.
It is in this context that the painting of Jus Juchtmans can best be seen. You can ask yourself whether his paintings can be consIDered monochromes. This depends on how strict your definition of a monochrome is. There is however no doubt that the monochrome, or an engagement with it, is evIDent in his work. It is an engagement with the visual aesthetic of the monochrome. The aspect time plays an important part in this but not in the earlier ‘romantic’ sense, with its evocation of transcendence and timelessness. Instead, Juchtmans’s engagement with time within the monochrome introduces the IDea of temporality in our aesthetic experience of art.
