Pieter Stoop
is a Dutch painter of large abstract paintings.
Pieter Stoop acquired his artistic education at the Academy of Catholic Education,
Tilburg
(1962?1966) and at the Jan van Eyck Academy of
Maastricht
(1966?1972).
[1]
At the end of his studies he obtained the Prize for the Visual Arts of the city of Maastricht (1972), and later on he received financial support to do a study trip to Morocco (prins Bernhard Fonds, 1974), and to
New York City
en
Mexico
(travel grant CRM, 1979). Specialised in painting and sculpture and influenced by
Soutine
,
Willem de Kooning
and
Bram van Velde
, the artist revolutionized painting with “Nieuwe Schilderijen”. 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. Pieter Stoop makes beautifully modulated paintings.”
R. H. Fuchs
[2]
Large canvases constitute his working sphere, which are dealt with through a long process that brings the artist to alternate oil painting with small-format drawings and acrylic paintings to make a quick sketch.
