Jan Bollaert (Deurne, Belgium, 1958), the 'Antwerp Andy Warhol' is a well-known Flemish artist who makes realistic Neo-Pop Art paintings next to (sometimes very large) objects in ceramics and assemblages. After a short career as an accountant, Bollaert decided to retrain as a graphic artist and later as a freelance artist. A profession he has practiced full-time since 1994 with great success. Painting was clearly a liberation for him. He trained at the academy in Mortsel and then at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp (1985-1989).
