Hans Hoekstra (winner Zoltin Peeter prize) - from my window

About this activity.

On June 21, 2024, the ZP Fund Foundation presented the Zoltin Peeter Prize for the second time, this time to visual artist Hans Hoekstra (1983). The prize winner shows a series of drawings and smaller paintings in the room presentation Hans Hoekstra - from my window in Museum Belvédère.

Hans Hoekstra (1983) is a Frisian native who currently lives and works in Groningen. As a draftsman and painter, Hoekstra has been working tirelessly on his oeuvre for years. He especially has an eye for the mundane, unemphatic, insignificant and inconspicuous. A plant on the windowsill, a street with cyclists, the backyard, the neighbors' roofs, people sitting in the living room can easily be the reason for a drawing or painting. By taking them as subjects, Hoekstra lifts them from the stream of anonymous oblivion.

ZP Fund Foundation

Shortly before his death, visual artist Zoltin Peeter (1942-2019) founded the ZP Fund Foundation, with the aim of periodically awarding a cash prize from its assets to a visual artist. The jury does not use a specific starting point, biased idea or ideology, but selects based on visual quality. The prize is preferably awarded as a bolt from the blue.
