Casper Faassen: Photographic Works

Beauty against a background of apparent decay. Beauty is central to the artworks of visual artist Casper Faassen. The tranquil, eternal and beautiful is shown against a background of decay.

Casper Faassen has developed a unique visual language through the combination of photography, paint, and the application of craquelure to his canvases. He builds them up from multiple transparent layers, creating a distance between subject and viewer, highlighting the contrast between beauty and apparent decay. This first overview of his photographic work includes his Asia series, dancers from the Dutch National Ballet series, cityscapes, and still lifes in the style of Morandi.
