LOUKIE HOOS

1995 - 2003 paintings

NOW ON SHOW, FROM MY ATTIC!

You'll see here many pictures from Montafon. The vertical ones were made while looking at the real thing, during five summers, 1995 till 2000. In these summer months the Royal Academy closed its doors and lost its grasp and I happily imitated nature. Later I again painted those mountains at home, reworking the experience.

During years of learning and experimenting with material and tactics in painting, my objects didn't change much.
Mostly scenery. Most paintings based on after nature sketches. The big underlying theme was 'the ugly, the Kitsch,the conventional beauty & the sublime'.
At the bottom of this selection early paintings (1999 - 2000) are shown, which were made in the context of formal education.
