Peppi Bottrop
Peppi Bottrop (b. 1986) confidently formulates a distinctive visual language that shifts between constructivism and deconstructivism, figuration and abstraction. His preferred materials are graphite and charcoal, which he uses to create abstract sketches of his environment on unprimed canvas. His visual language is characterised by the use of a predominantly geometric formal vocabulary. Architecture, art, and the environment fundamentally complement each other in Bottrop’s work, which is full of distortions and conflicts.
