Lique Schoot

Lique Schoot (born 10 December 1969 in Arnhem)[1] is a Dutch visual artist who is preoccupied with the self-portrait in a multidisciplinary way.

LS diaries Since October 2003 she takes a photograph of herself every day, creating a continuous and open-ended record of her existence.

The prints are stored on a CD, edited on the computer and titled with the date they are made (year, month and day).

Her paintings refine and distill the immediacy of candid photography to create formally dynamic compositions at the same time that they expose self-revelation to be another form of camouflage.

Lique Schoot's work is included in several collections, corporate as well as private and in the Netherlands as well as abroad, e.g., Provinces of Gelderland, Delta Lloyd Amsterdam, UMC St. Radboud Nijmegen, OHRA Arnhem, Essent N.V., Municipal Archives of The Hague, Museum Bronbeek (NL), SONS Museum (BE) and Museum van Bommel van Dam (NL).
