Artwork location: France
This bold work juxtaposes the power of black and the vibrancy of blue in a captivating visual dialogue. Broad black brushstrokes dominate the lower portion of the painting, evoking an enigmatic, tumultuous mass, while touches of movement add intriguing dynamics. In perfect contrast, a splash of vivid blue rises at the top, creating a focal point that immediately draws the eye. This striking contrast between the two colors explores themes of balance and duality. The paint's expressive, almost tactile texture adds an extra dimension to this minimalist yet meaningful composition. The work's simplicity challenges and invites contemplation of the interplay between form and color.

Presentation
VanCock is a self-taught French artist born in 1991, originally from central France. Deeply rooted in abstract expressionism, his work explores identity, emotion, and gesture through an experimental and intuitive practice.
Drawing inspiration from Jackson Pollock's dripping technique, VanCock uses acrylic and ink as his primary mediums, combining them with various supports and materials. His practice is centered on the final result and the statement it conveys. Dickpainting—a raw and provocative signature—serves as a vehicle for expressing personal and collective struggles, particularly around Queer identity and belonging.
His first works were created in a small bathroom on the 13th floor of a building overlooking the Garonne River in Toulouse. Limited by space, he began on small 20x20 cm canvases, marking the humble beginnings of his artistic journey.
In 2021, VanCock moved into a larger garage studio, which allowed him to take on solo and group exhibitions, as well as private commissions. This shift enabled the creation of larger formats and freer techniques—marking the beginning of his ongoing exploration of dripping.
In 2025, he relocated to Paris, setting up his studio in a renovated barn, offering him the space to deepen his experimentation and broaden his practice.
VanCock also explores figurative elements through other techniques. His “Portraits" series, for instance, captures anonymous individuals in ink using the dickpainting method—reflecting a life of intense encounters and emotional contrasts.
His work is deeply personal and shaped by his lived experiences, which he shares during exhibitions and intimate conversations. Each painting invites the viewer into a raw, visceral universe—an open visual field where forms, gestures, and colors reflect the chaos and beauty of life.
VanCock exhibits regularly in Occitanie and Paris, presenting his work through curated installations that provoke, question, and invite exploration—whether pleasing or disturbing.
Artist Statement
"VanCock holds nothing against Van Gogh. The name is less a joke than a tribute—to one who was called both genius and mad. For it's the mad who overflow into the world, whose senses are never sealed, who absorb and release both beauty and monstrosity. To parody, to pastiche, is to pay homage and breathe life back into art. To paint is to land on the shore of a dream where fools and madmen set the rhythm of the world."
