Jan Van Imschoot

Represented by Gallery Templon

Born in 1963 in Ghent, Jan Van Imschoot has been living and working in France since 2013.

Jan Van Imschoot’s exploration of the possibilities offered by painting have resulted in a body of work that draws its power from highly critical and dramatic themes and contains references to countless artists, from Tintoret to Luc Tuymans, Goya to Matisse. Jan Van Imschoot places his figures, decors and narratives at History’s margins, using assembled perspectives, strong tones, bodies in motion and brushwork he describes as ‘anarcho-baroque’. His work delves into a number of recurring motifs: freedom, censorship and the violence of political and ideological systems.

Jan Van Imschoot

Jan Van Imschoot (b. 1963, BE) lives and works in the Haute-Marne, France. Jan Van Imschoot’s exploration of the possibilities offered by painting have resulted in a body of work that draws its power from critical and dramatic themes and contains references to countless artists, from Tintoretto to Broodthaers, Goya to Manet. Jan Van Imschoot places his figures, decors and narratives at History’s margins, using assembled perspectives, strong tones, bodies in motion and brushwork. In Van Imschoot’s work, the painting becomes an ideal playground for exploring the triangular relationship between his three greatest passions: art, language and truth.
