Koen Schipper (1990),
Ging van Amsterdam naar Alkmaar
en van Alkmaar naar Hollands Kroon.
Exposeert in binnen- en buitenland,
heeft les gehad maar is voornamelijk autodidact.
'Once a Garden - a way out',
is het vervolg van zijn solo expositie uit mei 2024 te Amsterdam.
De tentoongestelde werken zijn veelal abstract, vervaardigd door verschillende materialen en technieken.
"Vaak vliegen de dagen voorbij en heb ik vaak momenten dat ik meerdere dingen tegelijk aan het doen ben.
Vaak vliegen de dagen voorbij en heb ik
Vaak momenten dat ik hen het liefst niet vergeet.
En soms overvallen gebeurtenissen ons alle en ik uit mij dan.
Ik schrijf, ik creëer, vaak op momenten dat het eigenlijk niet kon
en gaande weg krijgt het zijn eigen vorm.
Voor mijzelf, mijn naasten en de wereld.
Ik deel graag mijn bestaan, zoals wij alle iets proberen, te uiten hoe wij zijn, want vaak vliegen de dagen voorbij.
En heb ik de momenten opgeslagen in mijn werken
voor zolang het er mag zijn."

About
Passionate Audio/Visual Storyteller
Koen Schipper, also known as 3Kleff
(born 1990 in Amsterdam The Netherlands)
I have a deep love for soul, the kind you can hear, see, taste or feel. The love, sadness, loss and fighting spirit are all embedded within it.
I have a wide range of interests, and people often find me intense. I'm always busy trying to achieve everything i want, while also making an effort to help others along the way. because of a tumultuous past, where i feared losing myself and wanted to protect my self-worth, i tattooed a small, hidden reminder that i can easily find. It's a heart that faded, as i work a lot with my hands. I work hard for everything i desire.
I've always been this way. from a young age, i was constanly tinkering, drawing, doing carpentry, and writing.
As a child, i was shy and concerned about what others might think of me.
Today, i embrace who i am and focus on working hard for what i want.
Many of my works are tied to moments in my life. Often abstract, they present something that isn't immediately recognizable,
What do you see? What do others see?
Sometimes, it's a secret, a hidden message wrapped in love.
Standout Features
what i love
Recycling
Materials and objects, whether given or found, are often reused.
Experimental
I'm frequently curious about extremes.
For instance, when i learn a new technique, i often ask, "What is impossible?"
I enjoy seeking unexpected results.
Rough
I embrace imperfection. It's what lies within that matters. Damage tells a story. When you've experienced what it feels like to be broken, and now things are going well, you understand the value of resilience.
