Peter Klashorst (1957-2024) - Faces [2]

Peter Klashorst – Faces – set van twee giclées, gesigneerd en genummerd 14/45 (u ontvangt een bijpassende set). Peter Klashorst is een beroemde en populaire Nederlandse kunstenaar. In 2011 gaf Peter Klashorst het zinloze bloedbad van de Rode Khmer een gezicht door de slachtoffers te schilderen en tentoon te stellen in het Tuol Sleng museum (Phnom Penh). De VN-organisatie UNESCO vroeg Klashorst vervolgens om zijn werk tentoon te stellen in het genocidemuseum. Enkele portretten zijn uitgebracht in de vorm van een giclée. Twee daarvan zijn opgenomen in deze veiling. Twee digitale offsetdrukken op dik, glanzend fotopapier van 230 gram. Formaat: A3 (42 x 30 cm). Vanaf 2000 woonde en werkte Klashorst afwisselend in Thailand, Cambodja en verschillende Afrikaanse landen. Zijn tijd in Cambodja, met name in Phnom Penh, was bijzonder invloedrijk voor zijn artistieke ontwikkeling. In 2011 organiseerde hij een tentoonstelling in het Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21), een voormalige gevangenis van de Rode Khmer. Deze tentoonstelling bestond uit ongeveer 50 schilderijen die de slachtoffers van het regime eerden en kreeg internationale aandacht, waaronder in The New York Times en de International Herald Tribune. Klashorst's werk in Cambodja weerspiegelde zijn betrokkenheid bij sociale en politieke thema's. Hij gebruikte zijn kunst om aandacht te vragen voor kwesties zoals onderdrukking, vrijheid en de menselijke conditie. Zijn schilderijen waren vaak confronterend en bedoeld om de kijker aan het denken te zetten over deze complexe onderwerpen.

Peter Klashorst – Faces – set of two giclées, signed and numbered 14/45 (you will receive a matching set).

Peter Klashorst is a famous and popular Dutch artist.

In 2011, Peter Klashorst gave a face to the senseless bloodbath of the Khmer Rouge by painting and exhibiting the victims at the Tuol Sleng museum (Phnom Penh). The UN organization UNESCO then asked Klashorst to display his work in the genocide museum. Some portraits have been issued in the form of a giclée.
Two of them are included in this auction.

Two digital offset prints on thick, glossy photo paper weighing 230 grams. Size: A3 (42 x 30 cm).

From 2000 onwards, Klashorst lived and worked alternately in Thailand, Cambodia, and various African countries. His time in Cambodia, especially in Phnom Penh, was particularly influential for his artistic development. In 2011, he organized an exhibition at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21), a former prison of the Khmer Rouge. This exhibition consisted of about 50 paintings honoring the victims of the regime and received international attention, including in The New York Times and the International Herald Tribune.

Klashorst's work in Cambodia reflected his involvement with social and political themes. He used his art to draw attention to issues such as oppression, freedom, and the human condition. His paintings were often confrontational and aimed to make the viewer think about these complex topics.
