jaap van den ende (1944)
Jaap van den Ende is a Dutch artist and painting teacher.
Ende studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague, then taught himself at the Academy of Visual Arts in Arnhem and the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.
Jaap van den Ende's early works are geometrically abstract and systematic. Characterized by cold geometric composition and conceptual color delicacies, his paintings gained international recognition and were acquired by numerous private and museum collections.
Since the 1990s, Jaap van den Ende has introduced figurative elements into his work, and his contemporary landscapes are close to photorealism. In a series of landscapes, views of parks, beaches and cityscapes, as well as natural elements such as trees and clouds, the artist gives their images on adjacent canvases from different angles.
