Product description
Beautiful work, oil on canvas.
Peter Klashorst (Santpoort, 1957) graduated cum laude from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. During that period he became one of the leading personalities of “The New Wild Ones", a new art movement in Europe. In 1983 he received the prestigious award (Royal Subsidy for Painting) from Queen Beatrix.
In 1987, Klashorst was one of the initiators of 'After Nature', an international art collective aimed at reinventing painting and bringing art to society. The collective resisted the prevailing non-figurative style. Klashorst was often found in New York's East Village, where he showed his work at the Daniel Newburg Gallery and the International Met Monument Gallery, among others.
Klashorst then traveled the world in search of inspiration, tired of the commercial art world. Like his heroes, Arthur Rimbaud (poet) and Paul Gauguin, he moved to Africa. Full of romantic ideas but of course also with the harsh reality of African life in the city. He exhibited at the National Museum of Kenya and gave lectures and workshops to local artists and street children. He was also arrested for his uncompromising sculptures and paintings.
Klashorst now lives in the city of Phnom Penh in Cambodia.
