Marco van Hout (1978) is an avid (abstract) painter. Since his early childhood, art and painting have been a true passion. He comes from a long tradition of graphic designers and professional artists, such as his father Reimund van Hout (1943), his grandfather Gerardus van Hout (1914-1992, awarded with Prix de Rome), his great grandfather Hendrikus van Hout (1880-1916) and his uncle Henk van Hout (1941-2010). From his mother’s side, Marco could find inspiration in several generations of the Korteling family, of which several works can be found in museums in The Netherlands. G. Korteling (1809) was a student of known sea-painter L. Meijer. B. Korteling (1853) was a student of Jan Striening, and Willem Korteling (1889) was a well-known  flower and still life painter in Deventer (The Netherlands). A wonderful book  (Dutch) came out in 2011, showing a complete overview of the 7 painters from the Korteling family.

Lyrical abstract, full of emotion

Marco continues in the tradition of his father, creating colourful abstract and engaging paintings which could be defined as (lyrical) abstract expressionistic or impressionistic. The use of color and the impactful compositions are what most people enjoy and value in Marco’s work.

Urban Vibes series

The ‘Urban Vibes’ series is an ongoing series of paintings of abstract city skape landscapes. Marco finds inspiration for these paintings in sucking up the city atmospheres during his trips for his work. These are cities in the US, Europe, Asia, South America and even Africa. Every time, Marco tries to use a different color palet to express the unique atmosphere that each city possesses. These can be raw, cold vibes, but also warm, hot and exciting ones. Find your own special vibe with one of these exciting and decorative paintings that will light up your room or space.
