Jan Worst (1953)
The Adventuress
1993 | oil paint on canvas | 100 × 200 cm
With their lush colours and dramatic lighting, the furniture, carpets and young woman in this painting by Jan Worst look like they’ve come straight out of a fashion photo shoot.
Jan Worst was influenced in particular by the Italian film industry of the 1970s and 1980s, with its cold, aristocratic settings. In The Adventuress, we see a woman in survival clothes crawling over a table in a chic living room.
