Biography
[edit | edit source]Klashorst was based in the Tabakspanden on the Spuistraat in Amsterdam,[1] although he also produced works in cities such as Bangkok, Mombasa, and Phnom Penh.
In 2011 he did one of his last self organised shows at the Tuol Sleng, S21 the former Khmer Rouge prison (Cambodia), in honour of the victims of the Khmer Rouge’s terror and genocide that took place from 1975 to 1979 in Cambodia. Klashorst created an impressive and sometimes very confronting set of around 50 paintings. The show got worldwide attention (The New York Times and Herald Tribune).[2]
Klashorst died of lymphoma in Amsterdam, on 11 September 2024, at the age of 67; at the time of his death he had been suffering from HIV for several years.[3]
