About

Erik Kessels is a Dutch artist, designer, and curator known for his work in photography and advertising. He is a co-founder of the communications agency KesselsKramer and has published several books on photography, often focusing on vernacular and found images. Kessels's work frequently explores themes of memory, identity, and the impact of media on society.

Observations

The style combines realistic, highly detailed photography-like rendering with vivid candy-colored environments and impossible juxtapositions. Recurring clouds, reflective glass, domestic interiors, abundant objects, and theatrical compositions create a dreamy surrealism with a nostalgic cinematic atmosphere.
