From football to art through rotation
Movement played an early role in Jans Echternacht’s life. Before his artistic work, there was football, including Schalke 04 and Grasshoppers Zurich. Precision, strength, speed, reaction and the eye for the right moment stayed with him. Today Jans Echternacht works with round canvases, colour and rotation. The circle has remained; only the playing field has changed.
Exhibitions and one-offs
Large-format works by Jans Echternacht can currently be seen at the Michelin-starred
Bonvivant restaurant in
Berlin-Schöneberg. Works made for the location have also been shown at the Adidas Originals Store in
Berlin-Mitte. The solo exhibition “Electric Dreams” in Berlin presented a larger body of the artist’s work.
Available originals can be viewed at the studio by appointment. On request, we can send a current overview
with formats and prices.
Every spin painting emerges from colour, rotation, speed and timing. Because these forces come together
differently in each work, no image can be produced a second time in exactly the same way. Whoever acquires an
original by Jans Echternacht chooses a one-off that exists only once in this form.
