First encounter

Just last week I had the pleasure of seeing Edgar's drawings and paintings, and most importantly, watching him work was engaging and eye opening. I am stunned by how he can translate such an intricate sense of movement and non-static lines onto paper or canvas. After seeing his portrait work I saw that his understanding of movement is also an understanding of life and breath, giving movement to even still things.

Its such a coincidence because my name is also Jeannine and I play the violin too. The horses are really magnificent too. I love the elephants from India and the one sketch of a brown long haired dog (that looks a lot like an irish setter I had growing up) I am currently taking a drawing class in college. My last assignment is to choose two artists and compare two drawings.

My little word about master painter Edgar

I accidentally found Mr. Edgar's art on YouTube ... and I was amazed ... I got inspired by his paintings and drawings .... the dancing drawings all got their flow and rhythms. And I love the mood and color what Mr.Edgar did in his art... and his style ... the direct applying of paint to the canvas and giving the optical mix of colors...
I have no experience to explain his work ... kindly wishing from my heart.

I instantly loved your work, I love the freedom with which you seem to draw each line, but that in reality you know exactly where each line is meant to go and what purpose it is meant to serve to portray the subject. The colours you use give each painting its own life and spirit.

uit een Recensie

...Naast dans, tekst en muziek is er in een onopvallende hoekje van de tribune nog een andere kunstenaar aan het werk. Met zijn penseel en houtskoolkrijt volgt Edgar Jansen de danseres op de voet. Vliegensvlug gaat hij door zijn witte vellen heen. Een expressieve collage in het theatercafe is het verrassende resultaat en geeft de bezoekers een visueel toetje.

Hoi Edgar, Je oh zo knappe tekeningen zitten vol werveling en beweging, dat is prachtig. Vooral in de dansen, maar ook in de landschapen van de USA. Ik kom er vaak, en zie hoe wolkenvelden de rotsen doen verkleuren, hoe na de regen de lichtbreking verandert. Jij zet het allemaal raak neer.

Hallo Edgar,

Heel mooi, je Bali tekeningen in kleur.Er zitten ook weer prachtige danstekeningen bij. Als je er naar kijkt, ben je weer even daar in Bali.

Ik heb in plaats van tekeningen veel foto's gemaakt. Maar ik voel ook een beetje spijt dat ik mezelf toch niet tot tekenen heb aangezet. Groet, Corri

Dear Edgar,

I like the video clips of the 'Drawing Scenes from the Opera' very much!
It is beautiful the way you succeed to preserve movement and even to give it a new and unique color, especially in the dance drawings.
Good luck in the future!

Als hobby verzamel ik afbeeldingen en artikelen over de viool in de kunst.
Zo kwam ik ook uw site tegen.
Uw tekeningen vind ik mooi en sprekend.

All your drawings are superb, especially people drying the clothes and the elephant and the old man drawings are very superb. When did you came to Tamil Nadu? You correctly reflect the emotion in your drawings. You are definietly get agreed from all around the world.

I love your simple yet beautiful art!!!

I was on google and was looking for good artists to use for an art project. I searched for famous artist paintings and your picture caught my eye. I like how your paintings can be really messy and really pretty at the same time. Most artists give a lot of details to their paintings, but you show that you don't have to have that many details to look real. Your paintings are simple and yet at the same time, really beautiful. By simple I mean that the girls aren't made up or anything, but look like real girls. Most artists make fantasy paintings of people. I like that yours look like real people. Thanks again for letting me use your picture in my art project.

Aan Edgar, de vriend van de musici.
Soms, als ik naar portretten van jou kijk, heb ik het gevoel even een andere werkelijkheid te mogen ervaren, een werkelijkheid die voor mij heel echt is en die ik probeer uit te drukken met mijn viool. Ik geloof dat iedereen uitgerust is met een scala aan dromen, gevoelens en verlangens. Het is aan ons, kunstenaars om die (vaak tevergeefs helaas) te trachten te vangen en uit te drukken. Ik vind dit een grote verantwoordelijkhei d, want de momenten dat we deze werkelijkheid heel dicht kunnen benaderen, kunnen maken dat zielen met elkaar verbonden worden en geven het leven uiteindelijk waarde. Ik weet dat jij deze bijzondere gave hebt, want enkele van jouw tekeningen en schilderijen hebben me meegevoerd naar een andere wereld. Daarvoor wil ik je bedanken.
Prachtige website ook!
Liefs,
Cecilia

Heel indrukwekkend, het werk van Edgar Jansen. Ik ga elke dag wel even op de site kijken. (heb het adres van een televisieprogramma waar E.J. tekende)
De werken zijn dynamisch, al zijn het ook 'stilstaande' beelden die vastgelegd worden door hem.
Mooi is het kleurgebruik, het contrast tussen 'zwart'tinten en rustige en felle kleuren.
Bijzonder zijn de verschillende technieken die toegepast worden.
Je wordt 'meegenomen' naar speciale sferen.
Kortom adembenemend.

I am so inspired by what a committed artist you are. Your website is beautiful and shows dimensions of your work I was not aware of before. You are very versatile yet you have your own voice.I think what every dancer can't help but admire in your work is the sense of movement. I love that your drawings of dancers at first impression look a little messy because they are so alive and bursting with energy and spontanaiety. You really capture it and in that way I feel you are very clear.
I always enjoyed that you were there as I felt that you respect the dancers and models as artists themselves. I appreciate that you come to the 'dance world' for your art. You are an artist who believes in what you're doing - and with such generosity and clarity! Thank you for your work! Tuesday

The Pictures

I think Edgar's pictures are what dance is really about. They capture the energy and vibrancy of a dance. These pictures have been an inspiration for me for a school project and Edgar has been a great help with my project. Thanks!

movimiento capturado

lineas gestuales y expresivas aparecen trasformandose en movimiento ,
la indiferenciacion de los cuerpos hace que predomine la idea de danza,.
El cuepro establece relaciones con el espacio y la pintura representa su energia en su mas puro estado .

saludos de Argentina felicitacion por el trabajo !!

Jazz drawings

Hi Edgar!
Your drawing style is honest and full of emotion and care, the same qualities
that I truly admire in music. Nice! I really like the jazz drawings for some reason. I think it's because you captured the energy I feel when I listen to it.
kind regards,
Kaylie www.nextens.org

Ha lieve Edgar,
Zoals je weet beschouw ik mijzelf als "groupie" numero uno van jou en jouw werk. Voor mij ben je mijn grote inspirator. Wat jouw portret-werk mijns inziens zo bijzonder maakt is dat na, ogenschijnlijk voor een leek, een hoop gezoek en gekriebel een portret tot stand komt dat niet zomaar een tekening is van een persoon maar waar de ziel naarvoren komt . Ik ben blij dat ik jou tot mijn vrienden mag rekenen en hoop dat we nog lang samen mogen tekenen. Jouw werk verdient het om getoond te worden.
Liefs van
Marion

Lieve Edgar,
Je site is erg mooi geworden! Ik ben zoals je weet dol op je danstekeningen, met zo weinig lijnen beweging op het papier krijgen blijft een "kunst" !

prachtige portretten

Beste Edgar,

Hierbij wilde ik via het gastenboek mijn grote bewondering voor jouw werk uitspreken. Ik heb je ontmoet in een atelier waar ik cello speelde. Ik was meteen erg onder de indruk van wat je had getekend, alles met zoveel expressie en gevoel. Ik heb niet vaak meegemaakt dat ik ook echt geraakt werd door tekeningen, zoals dat soms bij muziek kan gebeuren.
Dat was een mooie ervaring.
De twee prachtige portretten van mij en mijn vriend zullen in de toekomst zeker op een belangrijke plaats naast elkaar komen te hangen. Ik hoop dat we contact blijven houden.
Groeten en liefs, Bibiane

Dear Edgar,
Sheila forwarded me your web site information, so I stopped by to take a look. The pictures are beautiful, particularly the portraits in color. The drawings of the twins are up in their bedroom here in Montana and we enjoy looking at them every day.
Thanks,

Portraits

The portraits are magnificent. I love the way they catch the essence of the individual and at the same time elevate the figure to a higher level. A wonderful combination of reality and dreaminess. What a wonderful opportunity you give your models to become immortal.

Edgar, I just finished looking through your website and I am very impressed.I am a ballet dancer from New York City and I particularly like your dance drawings. They are wonderful: full of motion, feeling, and form. They remind me of Rodin. Wishing you good luck with your art.

portait art

Browsing through internet looking for a course where I could learn the art of portait painting I came across Edgar Jansen. I was immediately taken by his directness, the vibrating colors and the lively brush strokes.This is exactly what I want to learn!
Please keep me posted on your activities, for I am a fan!
I wish you success in all your endeavours.

One rarely meets astists who are humble, modest and at the same time are very brave, honest and exposed in their art.
I admire Edgar since my first encounter with him in the Concertgebouw years ago. Nobody I have known has his ability to capture a musical gesture or the "music" behind a movement.
I can almost learn about my own playing from his paintings - quite extraordinary!
- My deep respect and admiration.
