Visual artist Peter Klashorst, born on 11 February 1957 in Santpoort, quickly gained fame after graduating from the Amsterdam Rietveld Academy in 1981. During this period, Klashorst did not only focus on his painting; he shows off his artistic talents in his punk band Soviet Sex, his own pirate TV station Bizar TV and his discotheque Bizar-discotheque. Peter Klashorst started his career in the period of neo expressionism in the Netherlands the "new savages". In the mid-eighties Klashorst's powerful expressive style freezes over, his canvases became more abstract, the colors disappeared and his geometric work aligned with the "neo geo" movement. In 1987 he discussed the crisis of modernism in Tenerife with his colleagues Rob Scholte and Jiri Dokoupil: What can you paint as a painter now that everything has already been painted? Klashorst and Dokoupil argued that painting had to be reinvented and started to copy reality, as the painters did before modernism. Thus the group After Nature was born, which revived genres such as nude, landscape and still life. As co-initiator of the artist collective After Nature, Klashorst gave a new impulse to Dutch art history. The After Nature group (1987-1995), which includes founder Klashorst as well as the artists Jurriaan van Hall, Gijs and Aad Donker, Ernst Voss and Bart Domburg, opposes the prevailing abstract expressionism and caused a furore in the eighties and nineties with a innovative figurative painting style and turned away from the "is one" in art. Their relationship with subjects and with the audience was very direct and unpretentious. Their joint performances on the street, in nature and during art manifestations were well-known and infamous. That "snobbery" and "idealism" were also counted among the people to be demolished, became apparent when Klashorst subsequently emerged as a portrait painter of "tout Amsterdam" and his participation in various TV programs: De Sprekende Ezel, Ikon and Painting in acrylic with Peter Klashorst, Teleac/NOT. Peter Klashorst (1957) graduated in 1981 from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. The 1980s are a period in which a new movement is emerging in Europe, that of the "wild painting" artists. Klashorst's painting style is immediately welcomed by this movement. After a number of exuberant and energetic years, Klashorst's powerful expressive style freezes. His canvases become abstract and cold and the colors disappear. Klashorst's work seems icy and indifferent.
