At the Ateliers "63 his work developed "from painting to spatial work took place, where the dialogue between silence and cacophony began."

According to Van Kooten (1991) "at a cursory glance January van de Pavert"s works call everyday objects to mind: rather than sculptures they are elements like a door, a window or a cupboard.
However, on closer scrutiny of these elements one discovers references to norms and images. Yes, they do turn out to be.. an empty space on the paper.".
