Biography
Van 't Slot studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Rotterdam from 1965 to 1970 and won the Royal Subsidy for Free Painting in 1977. In the eighties of the last century he belonged to the Nieuwe Wilden (neo-expressionism), with René Daniëls among others. The sometimes cartoonish and often humorous paintings of John van 't Slot stood out from the end of the seventies when new attention was paid to figurative painting. Since then he has had many exhibitions at home and abroad, including at the Venice Biennale in 1984.
Van 't Slot explains the return of figuration in painting in the 1980s by pointing to the conceptual painting that had dominated in the period before that. It had become "very dry, boring and tedious". "It was time that something came in its place that was visually enjoyable."
In the Dordrechts Museum's retrospective exhibition Stop Making Sense (2013-2014) on Dutch painting from the 1980s, Van 't Slot was presented alongside Philip Akkerman, Marlene Dumas, Peter Klashorst and Rob Scholte, among others.
