Collage print on board, hand signed by the artist. Print size: 17.1x12.6 cm - Board size: 50x35cm.

Art by Jan Fabre is a limited edition collage print that merges contemporary portraiture with conceptual art. The small, centered image on a textured board features a profile of a bearded man, with the word Art boldly inscribed on his upper arm in blue, mimicking a tattoo. His tongue is colored red, drawing attention to both his expression and the provocative nature of the piece. Fabre's work often explores themes of identity and body, using irony and symbolism. This artwork’s stark presentation and restrained color palette accentuate its thoughtful, almost confrontational message about the role of art in self-expression.

Jan Fabre (Belgium, 1958) is a multidisciplinary artist blending theater, sculpture, and performance. Known for his provocative works, he often incorporates unconventional materials like beetle wings and blood, exploring themes of transformation, mortality, and the human body.

I have a space for myself. No one comes in. No press, no curators, no gallerists.
- Jan Fabre

Renowned for his Bic ball-point pen drawings and ornate sculptures, Jan Fabre is a multi-faceted artist with works spanning across such mediums as sculpture, stage design and choreography. Heaven of Delight is perhaps one of his most notable works – for this piece, Fabre assembled around 1.4 million Jewel Beetle shells in various patterns to adorn the ceiling of Palais Royal in Brussels; Fabre has stated that he has always been fascinated by Jewel Beetles, admiring them for their ‘beauty, memory and ability to process information’. Fabre uses a wide range of unorthodox materials including blood, tears, bones and taxidermied animals; his works attempt to explore the relationships between science and art, and often challenge ‘impossible’ feats – The Man Who Measures the Clouds is just one among many works that deals with the notion of the impossible.

What is conceptual art?

Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
