M A R G O T  V A N  D E  S T O L P E

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.
​

' Within the tropistic movement I have been busy with patterns and structures in nature and in plantlife.
Patterns are for me the foundation, the direction, the informative code along which all living things are formed. They provide growth of an organism by repetition of the fixed basic form, as in fractal geometry. 
The underlying structure in my work is therefore under pressure and is moulded and distorted in order to come to a new reality.'  
In my layered photocomposition I apply stratification and depth. Some parts of my photo's are accentuated by using visual tools, other parts I let dissapear. I am like a composer with photographic material and I feel like a painter making layer after layer. 
Coincidence playes an important part and once in the flow it goes its own way and makes its mark. Mirroring and reflecting is an other aspect of my work, emerging constantly, appearing to be an essential element in the way I express myself.  
As above so below it seems to be. Both in the macro as in the micro world, they mirror each other.' ​
​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.​​

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 which the light is allowed to flood the plant like a blistering dawn.

​FLOCKING  SHAPESCAPES
 The series GRASS HOPPINGS 
  
Photography and Illusion
Swarms of insects in apparently random formations, leaves and seeds and the synchronous choreography of swarming birds and schools of fish, were the inspiration for a series of illusionary photographs of landscapes with swarming grass cubes.

MIRRORING LANDSCAPES
Photo composition of various elements of landscapes (and) buildings.

SURPRISING  GREEN  OBJECTS   The series GREEN SHIELD 1, 2 and 3 
Photo collage graphics 
Collages of photographed plant parts, combined into a spectacular, new and strangely associative symmetry.
​´Surprisingly green objects in which to take shelter and find peace amidst the urban vigour...´

PATTERNS  &  NATURE  
Photo collage graphic compositions
Interaction between one fractal structure and an other in the natural environment and d
ecorative patterns as the ones used on crockery, tiles, textile and for instance in architecture and the last work is a drawing from a moulded photographic picture.
