Theo Wolvecamp (Hengelo, 1925-1992)
Theo Wolvecamp started painting during the war and attended the art academy in Arnhem from 1945 to 1947. During that period, the German and Flemish
Expressionism occupied him strongly. In 1947 he settled in Amsterdam and after a short time working in cubism, he developed in 1947 his own world of spontaneously placed abstract signs.
Wolvecamp was a co-founder of the Dutch Experimental Group in 1948. By then he was already busy experimenting. For example, he used sand in his
canvases. In 1949 he left the CoBrA movement after the exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum, but became a member again in 1951. Little of his work from the CoBrA years has been preserved
remained, because, dissatisfied with the result, he destroyed much.
The outdoorsman Wolvecamp, who never really found his feet in the city, returned to his birthplace after the international CoBrA adventure. From a strong experience of nature, he worked there in seclusion on a strong personal expressionism with characteristic shapes and colours, building on the style developed during the CoBrA period.

It was not until 1967 that he presented his work to the public with a solo exhibition in Arnhem. In the following years, his work was exhibited at various exhibitions in the Netherlands and abroad.
