AMERICAN BORN PAINTER - 1968 - NEW YORK, NY
Mr. Jansen had his first exhibition in 1974 at New York City's Park Avenue Lever House at age six. A retired Sergeant, Gulf War Veteran, appointed Associated Academician in the Department of the Arts, by the Academia Del Verbano Di Litery, Arti,Scienze, in Italy. Jansen has works in the Smithsonian Institution, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Art Taiwan and Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA) Russia. He has been awarded his place in Who's Who in American Art, Who's Who in Visual Art and Who's Who in International Art alongside some of the most noteworthy men and women in today's art world.
Educated in Europe and the US, Jansen was raised by immigrant parents to the United States, mother from the Westindies and father from Germany. He grew up speaking English, German and conversational Dutch. Jansen has traveled extensively throughout Western and Eastern Europe and lived in places such as SW and SE Asia. He grew up between New York City and Moenchengladbach Germany were movements of Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism and Graffiti Art had their roots. He was awarded the Angel of the Arts Award in the category New Artist of the Year by the Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers Florida. A Gulf War Veteran and former Sergeant who over the last decade managed to transform his life from a soldier at War to becoming a catalyst behind "Modern Expressionism", according to art historian Jerome A. Donson who discoverd Jansens work in 2003. "His work is reminiscent of the American style of the ash can school" says Donson. Donson directed shows at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) arranging traveling exhibitions for some of Americas greatest action painters such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Oskar Kokoshka and Franz Kline. Jansen started painting in 1982 after meeting Graffiti art legend "WESTONE” in Manhattan who became his mentor. But it wasn't until 1997 after Jansens Military discharge that he decided to follow his calling highlighting issues of social truth's, culture, identity and isolation in todays "Prairies of Stone". He has since coined his work with the term "Modern Urban-Expressionism". Jansens Biennials include the 12th International Print & Drawing Biennial in Taiwan where he received special recognition and was on of only eight American Painters selected in his category. The Intl Jury included David Kiehl. Jansen was also a winner at the Under/CURRENT/over/VIEW 8 Annual, at the (The Tampa Museum of Art), Juror Jeffrey Grove and recently was included in the International 8th. Contemporary Art Biennale "Dialogues" in St. Petersburg Russia, Curator: Larisa Skobkina.
