Short description:
Maar in die doffe, zwarte nacht, als de wereld slaapt en alleen de sterren waken, voel ik me levendiger dan ooit.
- J. van Oudshoorn, Willem Mertens' levensspiegel
Jan Koos Feijlbrief looked the archetypical civil servant he was, his inner life and writings were those of a free thinker and sensitive soul. Under the name J van Oudshoorn he wrote some of the finest lines written in Dutch literature, about shame, guilt, alienation, inferiority, isolation and youthful infatuation. Over 70 years after he died, Jan Koos Feijlbrief alias J. van Oudshoorn, inspired 12 artists and a publisher to make work that will be on view from June 15 - July 7 at See Lab. Vernissage event June 15 at 17:00 hrs.
