Anyone who is familiar with Jaap van den Ende's ( Delft, 1944) earlier formal, often abstract geometric work can see a radical U-turn in his current work based on flowers, landscapes and human figures. Jaap van den Ende started work on these emotionally charged paintings in which the figuration plays an important part in the late Eighties. All the same, his present-day procedure is still in line with the so-called ‘cool’ work of the Sixties and Seventies. Oppositions like reason and emotion, or that between system and intuition in his style of work, had already been present for a long time. It is just that he has developed different formal idioms for these premises during the last few years.

Van den Ende studied at the Koninklijke Academie voor Beeldende Kunst in The Hague. Van den Ende's rich oeuvre is to be found in various collections, including:
Van Abbenmuseum, Eindhoven, Städtisches Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, Museum Bochum, Bochum, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Museum De Lakenhal, Leiden, Van Reekum Museum, Apeldoorn, Rijksdienst Verspreide Kunstvoorwerpen, Den Haag, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum Het Prinsenhof, Delft, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam.
