Tys de Hoog

Born in 1996. BA Fine-Art 2020. Interested in going back from where I came from in the most vague sense.

My paintings are about (the persuit of) wholeness and trying to understand my own pattern recognition. I do this in sympathy for the victims of rabbitholes to understand the common grifter. I dip my feet in psycho-analysis, but mostly through brute practice.

The advantage of knowing over believing seems to be gained by reinventing the wheel.

Sometimes even without any pre-concieved knowledge of it.

I explore and manipulate mechanical aspects of creativity, so we may learn how to access it through conditioning the body. This is where the idea of the Nous inspires me to find ultimate accuracy in my creative endavours.

The common theme’s in my work include surrender, grief, love, delusions, danger, the esoteric, stupidity, violence and freedom.
