The Paintings of Peter Stolvoort  introduction

 

Peter began painting at the age of five using the paints and brushes his father brought home from his work as a faux painter. At the age of nine, Peter and his family immigrated from the Netherlands to the United States on board the Holland American Line.

At first, viewers compare Peter Stolvoort’s paintings to the works of Jackson Pollock. There are similarities, but the viewer soon perceives his unique order and theme. Using acrylic paints and adding various mediums, he has developed a repertoire of unique painting techniques to achieve the sculptural effects that give the work his signature finish.

Peter is a graduate of the Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia, where he studied painting, printmaking and design. He is also an accomplished stone lithographer creating limited edition lithograph prints on his one-and-a-half ton Charles Grant printing press. Peter also studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.

Many private collections throughout the United States and Europe house Peter Stolvoort’s works. He currently maintains a private studio in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
