Jan Hoek

Jan wanted to make an embroidered art work of one of his favorite photos of Kim, a homeless heroin addict who stayed at his house for a little while. He supports her dream of becoming a famous super model in any way he can, so the decision on what design to choose for UNFRAMED was easily made.
He is represented by Galerie Ron Mandos, and won the Charlotte Köhler prize in 2015. His work has been on show at the FoMu in Antwerp, FOAM, Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum, Schiedam, the Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen, China, Delta Flux, Jakarta and Lagos Photo Festival, Lagos.
