“When I crawled into the fresh sheets of my tightly made up upper deck-bed I would switch on my special reading light and extricate my book from the odd little net strung up along the wall where I could store my possessions with a rare sense of privacy, safe from sudden parental invasion. Sleep would come very late and the desert dawn very early”

— Edward Said, Out of Place, p.149

Jan Urant's solo exhibition Sleepers touches on themes of existential belonging to land, memory and dreaming. Urant's work reveals the inner world of stories, memories and visual expressions of the characters. Paintings are created through a long process of painting, washing off, scraping and applying dry pigments that later become a dreamlike painting with many layers of colors and stories.
