Jan van der Ploeg was born in 1959 in Amsterdam and graduated from Rijksakademie, Amsterdam in 1985.
He has exhibited in group and solo shows throughout Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand.
Jan van der Ploeg first began painting his geometric designs on the walls of buildings in his native Amsterdam. Since then, he has painted his motifs in hundreds of permutations at galleries and institutions all over the world. Using different combinations of common shapes, bold colours, and shifts in scale, his wall paintings invite viewers to experience spaces in new and dynamic ways.
