Joan de Bot Biography
Dordrecht, Netherlands, 1948 -
A mid-career Dutch artist, Joan de Bot paints with oil on canvas.
She started her career doing large dimension systematic paintings, like 'Faculteit 7'. These pieces were painted on the principle of color scheme variation, allowing different colors to create a pattern that shifts before the eye.
In the 80?s her work took a different turn as de Bot began experimenting with chaos, painting works that looked like explosions on the canvas.
Since the 90's she has been traveling and exhibiting her work around the world, painting landscapes and cityscapes, as well as returning to systematic and pattern work. She is also working with The Dutch Museum of Textiles to produce tapestries with her designs.
de Bot currently lives and works in New York City.
