Gustav Fr. Von der Loo, born in Antwerp/Belgium in 1911, has been buried in the Salettes cemetery in Drôme since 1996.
Student of the painter Marten Von der Loo, his father and his uncle, the sculptor Floris de Cuijper.

At the same time, musical studies: Laureate of the Royal Conservatory of Music of Brussels, he was also a musician (solo violist) of international quality.

This undoubtedly explains his art of transparencies, harmonies of shapes and colors. Suspended in a poetic space, shapes slide over each other, freeing openings for the eye and the mind.
In other paintings, monumental, c. Loo goes beyond this fluidity to fix forms which have the value of sculptural emblems. There he combines elemental force through the robustness of the volume, and delicacy through the bath in which these compositions rest.

All his paintings appear as different aspects of the same world. This world is that of native light, around an object, a form. He is the painter of the molecular abyss, where spirit and matter are one, united in force.

Very rightly, a Belgian art critic wrote that it is “thanks to the sensitized light that this painting enters the domain of Flemish fantasy”.

V. Loo did not give titles to these paintings in order to avoid any connection with specific images.
The signature v. Loo XI indicates that v. der Loo is the eleventh painter in his family.
