Jan De Maesschalck has had solo exhibitions at Münsterland Festival (Billerbeck) and Mu.ZEE (Ostend). The tension lies in the artist’s fascination with light and shadow and his eye for detail. His work is subtle and highly suggestive. De Maesschalk often depicts women in isolated settings and specific architectural spaces, subjects that create an impression of intimacy or melancholy. In the creation of his paintings, he maintains the technical precision and speed of the drawing thanks to his use of fast-drying acrylic paint.
The images of the figures he portrays are taken from the media, from which he then selects specific fragments to create his own images. He started his career as a draughtsman for different newspapers and (art) magazines. Jan De Maesschalck is a Belgian figurative painter who observes, selects, interprets and fantasizes.
1958 in Sint-Gillis-Waas (BE), lives and works in Stekene (BE).
