Dark House

1979 | oil paint on canvas | 80 × 105 cm

Jef Diederen calls this work Dark House, which is ironic. Does it really feel that dark?

Even when communicating through intense colours and forms, Diederen’s paintings still come across as soft and friendly. Every element of Dark House, even the outline of white sky, works to tone down the deep black of the house itself.
