“Pieter ten Hoopen’s sensitive work with light, tones and shadows chisels out the unmistakably Ten Hoopen imagery – whether he depicts dramatic world events or the warmth of everyday life,” writes the jury in its justification.
Pieter ten Hoopen was born in the Netherlands and now lives in Hjo.
The prize was established after Lars Tunbjörk’s death and has been awarded to Elin Berge, Gerry Johansson and Hannah Modigh, among others.
The exhibition with Pieter ten Hoopen’s photographs opens on October 28 at the art museum in Borås.
