Jasper van den Ham paints the places our memory goes when it stops being literal and turns into feeling. Working between small, improvised works and large canvases, he builds landscapes that never quite exist on any map. Trees that don’t grow together, buildings from different cities, horizons that refuse the rules of perspective – everything is slightly “off,” yet emotionally exact.
On Discovering an Atlas
Over the past weeks I’ve found myself looking the paintings from the series Internal Geographies in a different way.
For a long time I thought of them as individual landscapes, each complete in itself. Recently, though, they’ve started to feel less like separate places and more like fragments of the same imagined territory.
