Stijn Peeters (1957)
Stijn Peeters
Stijn Peeter is a contemporary niderlandian artist. He studied first at the Royal Academy of Art and Design at 's-Hertogenbosch and then at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. He taught at several Dutch art academies and is currently with the Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts in Tilburg. Stijn Peeters makes many small works (drawings, graphics) on paper. His paintings however are often (very) large. His work is on display regularly in museums, art galleries and other art venues in the Netherlands and abroad. He is no stranger to self-irony in work like his "Into the doghouse" drawings, in which he visualizes his own life as that of a dog. Another recurrent theme in Stijn Peeters' work is 'The world upside down'. Mythological stories and images on folkloristic prints are other sources of inspiration.
