Peter Klashorst (born Peter van de Klashorst; born 11 February 1957) is a Dutch painter, sculptor, and photographer.

Biography

Klashorst was always based in the Tabakspanden on the Spuistraat in Amsterdam.[1] But he's also produced works in cities such as Bangkok, Mombasa and Phnom Penh.

In 2011 he did one of his last self organised shows at the Tuol Sleng, S21 the former Khmer Rouge prison (Cambodia). In honour of the victims of the Khmer Rouge’s terror and genocide that took place from 1975 to 1979 in Cambodia, Peter Klashorst created an impressive and sometimes very confronting set of around 50 paintings. The show got world wide attention (The New York Times and Herald Tribune).[2]
