Philosophical Realism in romantic landscapes. Introduction: For the most part my work consists of Philosophical Realism. The Philosophical Realism is an art form in which meanings of words and figurative symbolism (caption + painting) have been merged. The viewer is hereby stimulated to search for subjects and also encouraged to reflect. More information can be found at www.jan-marque.com In my romantic landscapes I choose a slightly different approach. This will focus the presentation to the viewer to undergo the image more emotionally and not go into the content of the art form, even if it is present in the relevant work. This means that in my romantic landscape painting at one time a caption, then a title can be found. In the romantic landscapes with a title the landscape itself is the subject. There may be buildings and or animals have been placed in. And sometimes you can discover figures, but you could consider them to be accidental passers. If I were the art form Philosophical Realism application in landscape painting, I’m talking about: “Philosophical Realism in romantic landscapes.” The landscape what previously served as the subject itself becomes the scene of another subject; whereby the spectator can merge the word – image symbolism (reading and watching) and so encouraged to search for subjects and also to reflect. Ordinary paintings depict a subject that is clarified by an accompanying title, an explanation where the viewer is looking at. The meanings of a caption in a Philosophical Realistic artwork refers together with the meanings of the image-symbol to a subject. Thus referring next to depicting of a subject. But also, the landscape itself as subject or the landscape as a stage for another subject. Many aspects of my landscape paintings. In addition, I play in my work with what I call self created light. Alchemical manipulated light what does not as such need to occur in nature. I call this process “Magus Lux Lucis,” Latin for magical light. This ensures that the paintings in terms of image may differ from the traditional classic image. Artworks with two ** indicate that they are works of Philosophical Realism. The other paintings have a title. Enjoy, Jan G. Marque
