Educated as a designer at the Rietveld Academy, Margot van de Stolpe has had her own studio in Amsterdam, and at that time made monumental roll shutter designs and murals. After that she established The Monumental Tile and designed and produced wall art for interiors. Besides her monumental designs, she currently creates autonomous Tropistic art and works on a regular base together with Robin Noorda. Her work is characterised by a powerfull, virtuous design-lining combined with an expressive monumental idiom.
O U T - O F - F R A M E - C O M P O S I T I O N S mixed media series
Randomly found photo-clippings, drawings, graphic ornaments and collages are being combined and transformed in an intuitive, spontaneous, unlimited and abstract manner in order to come to a new visual narrative.
Disturbing elements in a comforting play with colours and forms shows us the contrast between reality and fiction, in digital and swirly collages. In this hybrid series of unconventional works of art, certain prints have an extra painted layer, thus turning the limited editions in unica works of art.
Through this colour-full mix of twisted ingredients, that are not always willing to be framed and sometimes escape and succeed in spilling out, she wants to evoke new perceptions and ways of seeing out of the box. Hence the 'Out of Frame' title.

F L O R A I M A G O : D A R K Tropistic floral portraits.
This series captures the essence of the fleeting and airy existence of flowers in a watercoloristic way in botanical photograms.
The collection forms a contemporary herbarium with compositional references to Ikebana.
In these works the nocturnal darkness forms a strong contrast with the original light radiating from the flowers.
This ever expanding collection of this artistic herbarium aims to be a tribute to the magical blossoming and procreation of plant life in all its colours, forms and diversity.
