«Material pictures, collages, assemblages or object pictures? Jupp Linssen's works are all of these, but none of them exclusively and in the narrowest sense. Like many artists of his generation, for whom the creative handling of ‹non-art› fragments of reality practised since early modernism - since Duchamp's readymades, the cubist collages and Schwitters' Merzbilder - has long since become a matter of course, Linssen resorts to found materials, which he makes an integral part of his pictorial works. The found objects are ‹poor› materials, bulky waste relics such as zinc sheets, old wooden slats and parts of other disused utensils. His sensitivity to the material - the faded, dulled sheet metal, the weathered, exhausted wood, the oxidised iron - is expressed in the material- and texture-oriented painting, which consciously dissolves the aesthetic boundary between what is found and what is artistically produced.» from: http://www.jupplinssen.de/index_daten.htm.
