Vit à Bilthoven. Travaille dans Amsterdam / Bilthoven.

Galerie van Gelder
“The texts are the most important and everything around it is sort of just a secondary decorative support system, visual support for the text, but it is still also very important because of course, this also expresses certain things.”
“Like this. You could say, what’s the use of this? We have no idea. Like garbage. But then in a positive way garbage, because we are surrounded by visual garbage anyway, so…”
May 2022
According to Lily van der Stokker, who calls herself a ‘feminist conceptual pop artist’, art doesn’t always have to be about beautiful things. In the ‘The Nagger’s Club’, a series of wall paintings about arguments and money she uses texts like ‘Rather a rotten way to treat an artist’. Another series is about 'Art for elder people'. The beauty, the horrible and the positive and the negative have an equal standing in her work. Yet conversely Van der Stokker does not employ these aspects without pleasure and they are given curlicues, lavish and flower-like decorations.
Van der Stokker's work is often described by critics as teenage doodles or the “decorative” realm of girly design. Yet her work breaks established art rules and opens new evocative and important perspectives in the arts. Her art is incredibly radical and in that sense comparable to the groundbreaking attitude of the Pop-artists from the sixties.
Lily van der Stokker has produced murals in numerous museums, galleries and art institutes in the Netherlands, Europe and the United States. In October 2018 she has an extensive solo exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. During the Amsterdam Art Weekend her solo exhibition 'Here, and here' starts in Galerie van Gelder.

![Lily van der Stokker, Brigitte Bardot / Curlicue [Pure Love]](https://res.cloudinary.com/dsvessvkt/image/upload/t_artist_detailed_available_artworks/dpr_1/f_auto/v1655385743/production/artworks/ohpm9ofvczevqxyfrkb5.jpg)
Médias
"Lily van der Stokker draws her images with an exacting care and precision, configuring them against one another for the specifics of each space, before scaling them up and executing them directly onto the gallery walls. Her monumental wall paintings – with their distinctive colour palate and highly decorative motifs, including flowers, clouds, patterns and curlicues – play on apparently clichéd stereotypes of femininity, but her work has a depth and toughness that belies its saccharine aesthetic. For more than 30 years she has immersed herself in the supposedly mundane material of everyday life, taking seriously the intricacies of the small, the personal and the overlooked, while at the same time forging a radical feminist practice in a language she has made entirely her own."
