D53 Before Conversation Fig.154 by Jan De Cock, created in 2006, is a tapestry that captures the complexity of architectural forms in a striking, minimalist style. The composition resembles a detailed architectural drawing, showcasing structured grids and intersecting lines that form the façade of a modernist building. Small colored squares in green and burgundy punctuate the predominantly monochromatic design, adding focal points within the intricate geometry. This tapestry reflects De Cock's exploration of space, structure, and repetition, highlighting the tension between rigid form and visual depth. The piece invites viewers to consider the nuances of constructed environments and the rhythm of architectural elements, blurring the line between visual art and architectural design.

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)
