About

Bas Schippers (1992) is a painter based in Groningen, The Netherlands. Working primarily with acrylic paint on panel.

Painting the male nude form functions as an introspection/research about his cis-hetero identity in relationship to our hetero-normative society. Through this work Bas strives to create the opportunity for conversation with other heterosexual men about prejudice, stereotypes and vulnerability.

 

Bas holds a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Fine arts from AKI ArteZ in Enschede (2021) and the Frank Mohr Institute in Groningen (2023).

 

After his bachelor he was selected for the prestigious ‘Best of Graduates’ show at Gallery Ron Mandos and since then has exhibited in solo/group-shows and art fairs all throughout the Netherlands. Including a solo show at gallery Madé van Krimpen and participating at Springboard Art Fair in 2023.
