Addressing the multiple identities that people have, Jacqueline Peeters adopts titles of works by renowned artists: La Mulâtresse (after Matisse), Waiting woman (after George Minne) or Anglaise (after Courbet). A recent series of paintings, Lenders Leihgeber Prêteurs, contains long lists of names of art collectors. They are a homage to the art of painting, to admired artists such as Fontana and Kippenberger, and to pioneering art collectors.
Jacqueline Peeters (1961, Eindhoven, the Netherlands) studied at the Academie voor Beeldende Vorming in Tilburg and was a resident at Ateliers 63 in Haarlem. In 1987 she was awarded the Royal Prize for Painting. She has had solo exhibitions at Zazà Ramen in Milan (2020), Galerie Gerhard Hofland in Amsterdam (2022), Annie Gentils Gallery in Antwerp (2023) and Loods 12 in Wetteren (2023).
