The work of Koen Taselaar is a unique universe in which only he determines the rules. He makes skilful drawings, but also clumsy ceramics and abstract silkscreen prints. Taselaar’s visual language emerged from the grey area in which text is not only meaning but also form. He expresses this in drawn puns, imaginary record sleeves or large psychedelic paintings. In search of ways to process his diverse output, he makes publications and large scale drawings, which function as flat exhibition spaces.
Taselaar is continuously working to further develop his wide scope, for example by learning new techniques in several residencies. His work is included in a number of public collections includins the Hermitage, St Petersburg; Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Groninger Museum and Stedelijk Museum.
