Jan Banning was born in The Netherlands in 1954, of Dutch-East-Indies immigrant parents. His work, rooted in both art and journalism, has been exhibited in museums and galleries and published widely in books, magazines and newspapers. The central concern in his work is the theme of state power (and its abuse); Banning has produced series on the long-term consequences of war and the world of government bureaucracy.
His website is janbanning.com and he is represented by, among others, the agency, Panos, London, UK.
