Alpha and Omega

1973 | mixed technique op paper | 85 × 318 cm

Using nothing but strips of colour and square shapes, Jef Diederen presents life in concentrated form.

Diederen actually started out painting realistic landscapes, mainly around the South Limburg area of the Netherlands, where he was born. In the 1950s, he switched to abstract painting to better engage with society and communicate his ideas and impressions.
