About the Item

Wouter Stips “Icon I” & “Icon II”, Netherlands, 2000s A remarkable diptych consisting of Icon I and Icon II by Dutch artist Wouter Stips. These two paintings form a compelling visual dialogue, exploring themes of spirituality, human connection, motherhood, and inner reflection through Stips’ highly recognizable symbolic language. Icon I presents a serene, almost sacred female figure surrounded by symbolic characters and references to traditional iconography. Icon II offers a more intimate and emotional composition, depicting a mother and child rendered in Stips’ characteristic blend of abstraction and figuration. Together, the works balance contemplation and tenderness, creating a harmonious pair that rewards repeated viewing. Executed in a vibrant palette with luminous blues, pinks, greens, reds, and gold accents, the paintings demonstrate Stips’ ability to combine playfulness with deeper symbolic meaning. The compositions reveal influences from folk art, religious imagery, expressionism, and contemporary narrative painting, resulting in works that feel both timeless and distinctly personal. About the artist Wouter Stips (1944) is among the Netherlands’ most celebrated contemporary artists. Throughout a career spanning more than five decades, he has developed a unique visual vocabulary populated by symbolic figures, masks, animals, houses, and poetic narratives. His paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and public artworks are represented in numerous private and institutional collections and are admired for their optimism, imagination, and human warmth.
