He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1956 to 1960. From 1966 to 1967 he was a guest lecturer at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg, and from 1987 to 1992 he was a professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Voss had his first solo exhibition in 1962 at the Baier Gallery in Mainz. Between 1969 and 1992, Jan Voss, as a member of Deutscher Künstlerbund (German Artists' Association, DKB), took part in a total of twelve exhibitions at the major annual exhibitions of the DKB. The basic theme of his painting is the “order” of a constantly moving chaos of a difficult and small-scale situation. Voss uses numerous materials and techniques. He works with colorful paintings on canvas and with finer drawings that look like comic-like stories and have lots of details. In 1968 he took part in the 4th documenta in Kassel with four pictures. Voss also created wood and paper reliefs as well as watercolors. All works are characterized by an accumulation of different colour and form elements that interlock, overlap and are connected to each other by signs and lines. Initially held only in the second dimension, Voss extended this form of expression to the third dimension and began to crumple, fold, tear and saw his pictures in the 1980s.
