Kensuke Koike Explained

Birth Date:28 June 1980
Birth Place:Nagoya, Japan
Nationality:Japanese

(born June 28, 1980, in Nagoya, Japan)[1] [2] is a contemporary visual artist. Koike currently resides in Venice, Italy. He is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, Venice (2004)[3] and the Università Iuav di Venezia Faculty of Arts & Design (2007). He is best known for his collages.[4] [5]

In 2016, he began a series in collaboration with French photography curator Thomas Sauvin titled No More, No Less. Using images selected by Sauvin, Koike shifts and swaps sections of the images without taking anything away, hence the title of the series.[6] [7]

Initially using his own photographs, Koike began using archival images and photographs found a flea markets. He chose to do this as it requires more thought to be put into the cutting process as there are no other copies of the image being used.
