Jan De Cock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan De Cock (b. Brussels, 2 May 1976) is a contemporary Belgian visual artist. De Cock creates large structures - usually in plywood - that refer to early modernist and suprematist sculpture and architecture. He also creates photographical and video work. He was educated in Ghent and Brussels. In 2003 he entered in the competition Prix de la Jeune Peinture Belge ("Prize for Young Belgian Painters") but was not awarded. After Luc Tuymans he was only the second Belgian artist to have an exposition in Tate Modern. De Cock appears to be influenced by the work of Russian installation artist Ilya Kabakov and, to a lesser extend, the work of Dutch artist Aernout Mik. On several occasions, De Cock claimed he did not receive any formal artistic education. This, of course, was not entirely true.
