Rob Scholte is an image maker. He arranges and places images – from the mass media, from his own extensive archive – in a new context, giving them a new meaning. One often finds contradictions and contradictions in his works that are 'overcome' in their new context.
His meticulously painted works are usually produced by assistants and signed by himself. In doing so, he follows a 17th-century method of working. His working method is illustrative of postmodernism and emphasizes the permanent influx of images that surround, shape and mold us.
The media are always thematic, he draws inspiration from them, criticizes their manipulation and acted as a 'media personality' himself.
