Artist Statement - Jaap Kamsma
During my early childhood I was fascinated with nature, animals and cityscapes. I often went drawing and painting at the city zoo, Artis . At the academy of art in Utrecht I picked up this subject again. It is not just about the animals, the shapes of their environment are also playing an important role. These are often closed spaces with small openings that gives you the opportunity to have a peek into their world.
The connection between the architecture of the space and the nature are elements that inspire me. In my recent work the animals escaped their environment and appear in areas that exist in my memory. They are more prominent in the picture and tell their own story.
