Peter Klashorst (Peter van de Klashorst) (born Santpoort, February 11, 1957) is a Dutch painter, sculptor, and photographer. Klashorst specialises in painting and photographing young women, particularly from the Netherlands and several African countries. He also has a wife and children in Africa.In 2000, in primarily Muslim Senegal, his art caused him to end up in custody of the police for some weeks. He was suspected of taking advantage of prostitution, inciting debauchery, and the production of obscene pictures, because he had painted local women in the nude. By bribing officials, he managed to buy his freedom, and he sneaked into the Gambia to flee the country. On another visit in 2003 he was also deported from Gambia for pornographic paintings.
