Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Casper Faassen grew up in Leiden, where he developed his love for drawing and painting, inspired by the 17th-century masters from the same city. His attention soon shifts to photography, and he develops his distinctive way of working. His work is exhibited at international fairs and is included in both private and public collections such as the Frans Hals Museum, Museum De Lakenhal and the Haags Historisch Museum.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Casper Faasen's roots as a painter are evident in his photographic work. Besides painterly subjects and compositions, Faassen uses several transparent layers which not only give the spectator a sense of distance but also stimulate memory and association. He applies gold oil paint as a final layer of craquelure, referencing the beauty of time and decay.
His works are dimmed and subdued but at the same time rich in materials and detail.
This book comprises different series from his collaborations with dancers, painterly still lifes he calls ReCollections, portraits and nudes to landscapes and clouds.
