Artists Nico Krijno
Publisher b.frank books
The artist builds sculptures out of discarded materials, continues to re-arrange them over and over, and photographs them during this process. His photographs then are re-processed and altered again into new forms – using photoshop, paint and/or collage – to create new narratives and meaning.
Nico Krijno’s explorations represent an experiment into the perceived truths of objects, the medium of photography and its history. Reminiscent of traditional still lifes, Nico’s photographs are loaded with humorous visual information, challenging the boundaries of the still image with his ever-changing mise-en-scène.
This monograph is published by b.frank books and can be purchased at the publishers website.
