Jan Worst was born in 1953 in Heerenveen. From 1971 to 1976 he studied at the Academy of Visual Arts Minerva in Groningen. According to him, the fact that Jan Worst's paintings are called realistic can give rise to misunderstandings. The concept of realism is related to depicting reality and as such is a somewhat naive and perhaps outdated activity for the painter. Jan Worst's paintings are made up of recognizable elements. But this does not mean that the viewer should take this recognizability for granted. Worst collects fragments from different realities: antique furniture and carpets, children and young women who seem to have stepped straight out of a fashion magazine. He brings all this together in a painting. His works are about a make-believe world that is far removed from everyday reality. Unlike science, which wants to reveal and expose, according to Jan Worst, art is about concealing and hiding. In addition to the Netherlands, he has worked in various other countries, including Italy and Germany.
