born 1973 in Ixelles, Belgium

The main idea of my work is to give a second life to books, secretly hoping that the mixture of literary will work. Just as if the integration of different stories can give birth to a new work, but sculptural this time.
I build a movement, a rhythm. I transform the book and associate light with it until a new story comes to life.
I also wonder about the relationship to objects. The consumer society limits the use of things in time and in their destination. Bringing forgotten books back to life, giving them a new meaning is a deliberate act of upcycling.

Born in 1970 in The Hague, Nemo Jantzen graduated from the RTO Art Academy in Rotterdam. Following this he worked as a graphic designer and bill-board artist in Antwerp, where he developed his early hyperrealist style, setting him on his path to be a fine artist. Forever curious, Jantzen decided to travel. Finally, deciding on Barcelona he dedicated himself to fine art as a contemporary gallerist and artist. Eager for new experiences he moved to NYC, then to contrasting Bali, gleaning influences and cultural differences along the way. Currently, he resides in the Costa Brava. Over the past 15 years, Jantzen has become a highly acclaimed international artist. His work is exhibited worldwide across the full spectrum of art galleries, art fairs, museums and important public and private collections.

Two brothers with the same passion for paper, art and the process of creativity. Together we enjoy creating paperart in our studio in Leiden.
Each artwork is unique based on a set of shapes twisted masterfully into patterns, colours and shades. The design is firstly created as 2D and subsequently as 3D. After drawing the 3D design digitally, the various shapes are printed followed by the meticulous work of cutting. The last step in the process is bending each shape manually to the larger frame and glueing it all together to ensure the right 3D-effect. Once a work is completed, it is fixed with a custom made frame embedded with thick museum glass to protect the work.
