His paintings, often monumental in scale, reference many visual vocabularies \u2013 from narrative history painting to graffiti and street art. Richly layered in content and form, Jansen leverages his art practice as a method to synthesize and express the traumatic experiences of both civilian life and military experience through multiple conflicts and tours of duty<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Jansen\u2019s paintings reveal the complexing and intensity of his personal history. His paintings explore how the spaciousness of one\u2019s subconscious can be invaded by cultural signifiers both familiar and strange, a highly caffeinated search and rescue of memory, and hypervigilance resulting from an awareness of constant surveillance \u2013 all of which result in a disorienting sense of vulnerability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:27% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"561\" height=\"700\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jansen-marcus-plot-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1280 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jansen-marcus-plot-2.jpeg 561w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jansen-marcus-plot-2-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jansen-marcus-plot-2-100x125.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jansen-marcus-plot-2-150x187.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jansen-marcus-plot-2-200x250.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jansen-marcus-plot-2-300x374.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jansen-marcus-plot-2-450x561.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>The work in the Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art, Plot #2, 2018, is resonant and haunting in its image and subject. A brick red typewriter, that feels partially stenciled onto a mustard yellow ground, is both the subject of the painting, and the set for another subtle narrative landscape that unfolds within the picture plane. Above the typewriter hangs a broken set of blinds, with the sketch of a hanging light bulb in the background. The offset blinds and bulb signify a space that has been violated, or that could be at any moment; and the image becomes more unsettling as one observes the minute figure that often populates Jansen\u2019s paintings, as he traverses the space created in the lower left corner of the typewriter. The threatening mood of the painting alludes to histories of surveillance and power, and in a more reductive image, contains themes that are the foundation for Jansen\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple approaches to unpacking this work: the formal residue of graffiti, a reflection on the color palette and color theory, the compositional architecture of the image, the surreal qualities of the figure in a scale that is ever-shifting. This work will be poignant across many disciplines from psychology to history, as the artist so generously grants access to the most intimate, vulnerable and revealing aspects of his lived experience as an American, an ex-pat, a soldier and a survivor of Post-Traumatic Stress disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abigail Ross Goodman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consulting Curator of Contemporary Art<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
