Margot van de Stolpe is a member of a group of artists of The Tropism Art & Science Foundation,
established in 2010.
The definition of tropism in the dictionary is; the ability of an organism to direct itself to the light.
As an art movement, Tropism both literally and figuratively moves in the direction of a stimulus.
Tropism tries to move the observer, while the act of observing itself is being called into question.

Tropism is the ability of an organism to direct itself towards a stimulus.
The most common example is phototropism; the plants ability to turn towards the light. Every Tropistic work encourages the spectator' s ability to turn towards the stimuli that the work evokes.
For Margot van de Stolpe Tropism is a philosophy that prefers to deviate from the predictable and that reacts against patterns that are endlessly repeating themselves. Renewal, transformation, changing perceptions and a world upside down, are the ultimate goals in her work.
Patterns are the foundation, the direction, the informative code, through which all living things take shape. Patterns ensure an organism' s growth by repeating fixed basic forms such as fractals.
Patterns derived from nature, form the underlying structure that is under pressure and that is kneaded and schaped into a new reality with a, sometimes, surrealistic stratification.
The patterns then loose their predictability and will start to behave in an entirely new and unique way, growing, moving, taking themselves less seriously and maybe exposing themselves in a promiscuous manner.
