Description: Johan Tahon is an experienced artist; he has exhibited his work worldwide since 1994. In 1996 he was discovered by art curator and museum director Jan Hoet. At the internationally renowned exhibition 'De Rode Poort' he was given the chance to interact with other world famous artists, and since then he has only improved: creating solo exhibitions as well as collaborative exhibitons with artists such as Ilya Kabakov, Gunther Forg, Tony Cragg and Stephan Balkenhol. His sculptures remind the onlooker of human figures - however, there is a disturbing disconnect: their form is not natural. With his long silhouettes, Tahon connects the artist with the beholder of his works through negative space. Johan Tahon studied sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. His works are part of many private and public collections.
