Jan Brauer works across various media, employing techniques such as paintings, collages and frottages. His oeuvre is often described as a dicompositioning process which ties situations and figures together again in layers through a unique graphical universe. Using diverse materials and techniques that conveys a contemporary visual language, Jan Brauer's work explores the subconscious – the unspoken drama in the seemingly ordinary.
