Biography
Biography
This school conceived art according exclusively to its materiality. Stoop focused on the painting materials and applied them thickly layer after layer to achieve a thick quality on the canvas. “The essence is not that Pieter Stoop takes the landscape as his starting point; what matters is how the movement of paint and colour transforms the surface into something else: the painter’s art. Stoop makes beautifully modulated paintings.” R. Fuchs He works on large canvases which are dealt with through a process that brings the artist to alternate oil painting with small-format drawings and acrylic paintings to make a quick sketch. Stoop currently lives in Eindhoven.
