Get Familiar: Jan Hoek

Over the last two years, Patta worked together with artists Regilio Benjamin and Desmond Tjon-A-Koy who both are part of the Outsider Art Galerie, and they developed two shirts together that are literally like wearable art. Both Regilio and Desmond are part of the Outsider Art Galerie and now also part of the Patta family. This collaboration was part of the project Outsiderwear in which the most unique designers were connected with the most talented artists from the world of so called “outsider art” where you can find artists that are not part of the rest of the art world for example because their brains are so unique that they sometimes need a bit of extra care. The Outsiders project is run by contemporary artist Jan Hoek. The Amsterdam based creative sat down with us on the eve of Patta and Outsiderlands exhibition at Outsiderland that will be taking place from November 4th until November 28th.
