About Jan De Cock
- Jan De Cock (born 2 May 1976 in Etterbeek) is a contemporary Belgian visual artist.
- From the start of his career, his art has revolved around production and the ways in which an artist relates to the broad culturally-injected concept of Modernism.
- In 2003 Jan De Cock entered the competition Prix de la Jeune Peinture Belge (Prize for Young Belgian Painters).
- He is, after Luc Tuymans, only the second Belgian artist to have had a solo exposition at Tate Modern and the first living Belgian artist to have an exhibition at MoMA, which opened on 23 January 2008. Much of his work appears to draw visual and formal comparisons between early-20th century abstract art movements (such as Constructivism, Cubism, and Suprematism) and contemporary design and mass production.
- Additionally, de Cock commonly includes a performative element intended to act as social critique or to place his work demonstrably into a system of exchange. He is represented by Office Baroque in Brussels, Belgium, Fons Welters in Amsterdam, and Francesca Minini in Milan.
