About Rob van Hoek

Autodidact

Numerous exhibitions in leading Dutch and British galleries.

My paintings have been frequently show in international artfairs (London, Amsterdam, Seoul)

During all my years of painting I have been inspired by the landscape, especially the cultivated landscape. Wild, rough and virginal landscapes are beautiful too, but no subject of my paintings.

The patterns, lines, rhythms and shapes of (harvested) fields, these are a few items that make the cultivated landscape so inspiring to me. And of course the sky above, adding space, light and atmosphere.

Perspective is used in a playful way; sometimes flat, sometimes with depth, often both. character.
