Jan Keteleer (JanKé): A Journey Beyond the Canvas Profile picture The Jaguar Type D is a racing car that debuted in 1954 as a replacement for the C-Type. The company built 51 D-types, which were used by private racers in the mid-1950s. The D-type had a monocoque construction, which allowed it to achieve speeds of over 170 mph (275 km/h). It was designed with aviation technologies in mind. Its short-nose design allowed it to achieve this speed with ease.

The Type D was made of lightweight aluminum, and it was driven by Jack Ensley. The car's engine was fitted with a six-cylinder engine, which was cooled by a liquid nitrogen heater. It also had a special windscreen to aid air flow, and was a popular choice among racing drivers. It finished third in the 1956 Le Mans 12-hour race. It was later sold to Bernard Ecclestone, who would go on to buy the Brabham Formula One team. It was also driven by Jean Bloxham, who kept the car until 1962.

The D-type was powered by a twin-cam straight-six XK engine, which had been introduced in 1948. Its high-lift camshafts and high-compression pistons made it capable of producing up to 250 bhp. This allowed it to achieve speeds of over 170 mph. The car's new design made it difficult for competitors to overtake it, and its speed was limited.

Jan Keteleer, known in the art world as JanKé, is a Belgian artist whose work flows seamlessly between the realms of classical and contemporary art. With an eye for both tradition and innovation, his creations transcend time, encompassing styles as varied as pop art, impressionism, and timeless classicism.
For Keteleer, art is not merely a discipline—it is a language, a vessel for expressing the unspoken depths of human experience. His philosophy is as profound as his technique: "Master every existing method so completely that you can fully convey the essence of what you wish to express."
Through his work, Keteleer invites his audience to look beyond the surface, to engage not just with the visual beauty of his art but with the emotions and ideas that lie beneath. Each piece is a dialogue, a call to reflect, to feel, to connect.
Whether you stand before his modern interpretations or his evocative tributes to classical forms, Keteleer’s art challenges, comforts, and inspires—reminding us of the shared threads that bind our individual stories into a collective human tapestry.
