Rob Scholte (born 1 June 1958, Amsterdam) studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam from 1977 to 1982. Scholte is a sculptor. Images from art and advertising, but also from everyday life, form the starting point for his paintings. He arranges and places images in a new context, thereby giving those images a new meaning. Often his works contain contradictions and oppositions that are 'overcome' in their new context.

On 24 November 1994 Scholte and his wife stepped into his car in Amsterdam. Shortly after he had driven away, a hand grenade exploded under the car. Scholte was seriously injured. Both of his legs had to be amputated above the knee. Hoogendijk, who was pregnant with Scholte, miscarried. The perpetrator of the attack was never found.
