Jan De Cock – D53 Before Converdation Fig.271, 2006 – Tapestry

View in a Room

With certificate signed by the artist

D53 Before Conversation Fig.271 by Jan De Cock, created in 2006, is a tapestry that features a minimalistic, abstract interpretation of architectural forms. The design consists of fragmented black and green shapes dispersed across a white background, resembling deconstructed building elements such as windows, beams, and grids. These elements appear to float in an undefined space, creating a sense of movement and dislocation. The scattered composition invites viewers to interpret the relationships between the shapes, hinting at an imagined architectural structure without explicitly defining it. This tapestry exemplifies De Cock’s exploration of space, form, and architectural abstraction, encouraging contemplation of constructed spaces and how they are perceived when fragmented.

Jan De Cock (Belgium, 1976) is a contemporary visual artist known for his large-scale, site-specific installations that explore the relationship between art, architecture, and space. His work often references modernist aesthetics and challenges traditional notions of sculpture. De Cock founded The Brussels Art_ Institute, a multidisciplinary workspace fostering collaboration between artists and educational institutions.

To me, Modernism is the most important period in art history.
- Jan De Cock

As a visual artist, Jan De Cock creates installations where the creation itself is part of the exhibition. Many of his works include performance and feature his own photography. He uses 20th century abstract art techniques to explore the effects of modern design and mass production on the world of art. A number of his works use the word Denkmal in the title, which means “monument” in German. However in his native language of Dutch, Denkmal has a different meaning: denk “to think” and mal “to mold”. Therefore his works are said to spark different ways to think and look at his subjects instead of having a singular meaning. Jan De Cock is considered a modernist artist, and his works explore the ways an artist can relate to the modernist approach. He lives and works in Belgium where he is only the second Belgian artist to present an exhibition at the Tate Modern in London. (Artist website)
