Wil Bouthoorn was educated at the Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague. Initially, his work is figurative, the sequel has many developments in an abstract sense. Structure and stacks of forms arise, in and through each other, figurative and non-figurative. The figurative details disappear after 1980. However, the work remains true to its classic origin. Man, as a given, remains present in the work.Bouthoorn has never painted after the issues of the day and has never joined a movement.
