Peppi Bottrop is an abstract artist. He completed his studies in fine arts at the Kunstakademie and lives and works in Düssledorf. Bottrop’s practice explores painting as a teleological process, with a very distinctive narrative. His works, which evoke geometric abstraction, are a labyrinth of skeletal outlines in which each line represents an action: its beginning, its end and its belonging to a larger entity. His works, often stapled straight to the wall of the gallery, highlight a system of connections from atom to earth. Bottrop claims, “sometimes [it’s] better to frame pictures to have them communicate with the viewer more easily” a frame can seemingly demarcate the part; contrasting the larger, the physical, the wholeness.
