About Jan-Clemens Lampe ®

Jan-Clemens Lampe is (as visual artist and poet) also a photographer, better to say a photo-graphicus, because this word is the right expression for what he does as photo-graphicus, thus as a light writer and as a graphic artist of images. Lampe, born in 1938 in Utrecht (The Netherlands), saw the light of the photography early: "The artistry was already there in the early school years. I have made my living by inventing and the realization off organization- and ICT projects. But I was already taking pictures since I was a boy at the age of eleven. Photography is a kind of vehicle, a way to overcome my introversion. I miss a mirror. I also mean by that the missing of a partner." In the early nineties Lampe, as autodidact, has made his work more profound by increasing the photography by using other techniques. Elements from his photo work return in the works with mixed media. The themes in photography are transposed in non-figurative compositions in acryl and oil pastel, and in three-dimensional compositions with parts of books, wood, metal, fabrics and memorabilia. A item in the mixed media is the so-called "body prints", a stamping method with grease paint and watercolor. End nineties Lampe published poems and some of the poems are designed in corten steel. A lot of his work is in company-, government- and private collections.
