Marcus Jansen "Whistleblower" at Lazarides London, 2014

Marcus Jansen's first London solo exhibition with Steve Lazarides in London, 2014 where Jansen was named "The Cartographer of Conflict" by Strife Magazine.

Marcus Jansen is part of an artists group that creates work influenced heavily by modern urban life. His art form is situated between contemporary and street art expressionism. Jansen constantly demonstrates a keen awareness of his surrounding and creates surreal representations from this input. His art reveals a subconscious future that foretells full of consequences. Jansen uses violent brush strokes, changing textures, and distinctive contrast of color that reflect an explosive spontaneity that is the direct and raw effect of emotion. His work always provokes intellectual discourse among viewers, challenging them to see the subconscious. He evokes examination by blurring the boundaries of truth and fiction. The viewer is challenged to understand or interpret where this border lies. The themes that run through Jansen’s work are vast in scope and indicative of his insightful ability to see the correlations that connect them, increasing surveillance, global dominance and genetically modified food are just a few.
