“The pure, spontaneous experience of a child essentially reflects the meaning of life.”
Peter Riezebos is a Dutch artist based in Amsterdam and Shanghai. His art focusses on large paintings in the neo-expressionism traditions, and is influenced by his art heroes Basquiat, Picasso, De Kooning and Appel.
Works by Peter are bold and powerful, emotionally attractive and his artistic ‘schwung’ demands immersive attention and interaction of the perceiver. Each painting is unique in its (color) composition and is constantly a combination of intentional creation – based on visualization – and free ad hoc expressionism.
Peter considers himself a global citizen and paints on location all over the world (often residing the majority of the year in hotels all over Europe, Asia and the United States). His traveling and accompanied cross-cultural development is translated throughout his art. In recent years, Peter has been invited to commercial galleries and institutions and has also exhibited in international first-tier cities such as Shanghai, New York, Connecticut, Los Angeles, and Amsterdam.
