From that attention to texture, he gradually seeks to integrate notions of sculpture and collage, and realises elaborated sculpture-paintings, constructed in paint, supplemented with tile patterns and mosaic, in a way reminiscent of murals and architecture. \u003cem\u003eSanguine/Bloedrood\u003c/em\u003e presents Jack Whitten as a powerful presence next to Rubens.

Vanuit die aandacht voor textuur zoekt hij gaandeweg ook toenadering tot noties van beeldhouwkunst en collage, en komt hij tot doorwerkte sculptuur-schilderijen, opgebouwd uit verf, aangevuld met tegelpatronen en moza\u0026iuml;ek, wat leidt tot reminicenties aan muurschilderingen en architectuur. \u003cem\u003eSanguine/Bloedrood\u003c/em\u003e presenteert Jack Whitten als een krachtige aanwezigheid naast Rubens.
