LS data
Lique Schoot is preoccupied with the Self-portrait since her graduation in 1997. She works in the tradition of the conceptual art. She makes paintings, objects, installations and daily photographs. Her work reflects emotions like pain, love and loneliness and show the major themes of life: birth, growth, decay and death - shown in different series, like Somewhere, Pillow Portraits, Towel Portraits, Sleeping Portraits and Moments in Time. Her oeuvre of the Self-portrait is called 'LS data'.
LS diaries
Since October 2003 she takes a photograph of herself every day, creating a continuous and open-ended record of her existence. The self-portraits are taken at arm's length with a hand-held, film-containing camera. These visual diaries illustrate her feelings as captured in one moment each day. Each month, the film roll is developed in the lab. The prints are stored on a CD, edited on the computer and titled with the date they are made (year, month and day). The project contains more than 5000 photographs.
Paintings
Lique Schoot has been painting self-portraits for more than fifteen years. She selects certain images from her LS diaries to become the basis for her works. 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. They are a balancing act between abstraction and figuration, between rationality and feeling, and between existence and perception.
Both her paintings and her photography explore authenticity and introspection in the tradition of Frida Kahlo and Nan Goldin and at the same time invoke the older Dutch tradition of self-examination in Rembrandt and Van Gogh.
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).
