Jacques Tange – A Perfect Match

Jacques Tange was born in Vlissingen in 1960. Tange is educated at the Academy of Visual Arts in Rotterdam. Since 2004 he lives and works in Schiedam. Tange is inspired by medieval decorated manuscripts, which he applies to contemporary themes. He expresses metaphors on the basis of bright colors. His work often deals with the relationship between men and women, the city, and the seclusion of humans. Tange also owns two galleries in Schiedam. In addition to several times in the Netherlands, Tange’s work has been exhibited in Monaco, Paris, Spain, the United States, Belgium, Italy and England. In 2005 Tange was elected Artist of the Year by Stichting Kunstweek.
