Nico Krijno is an artist who explores photography,
at the intersection of collage, painting and video
Probing the boundaries of each, resulting in unique abstractions:

An intertextual dialogue opens up between his artworks, and allows for a surprising tone to the assemblage. Krijno describes the process of photographing these ephemeral structures as a private physical performance, with the camera being the audience.

Often working with discarded found materials, he interprets and re-organises them in a non-linear manner in the pursuit of finding alternative structures for how meaning and matter are constructed and perceived.

Using his body and movements based on gestural abstraction, creating a direct link between the body and the natural flow. Re-introducing a dynamic relationship with nature, bringing nature back into the world in reaction against the man-made- manufacturing process

With a filmmaking background, working in the theatre and experimental video fields both as video editor & cameraman. Nico Krijno switched camps to the field of visual arts around 2008.

His photographic practice with its focus rooted in process and experimentation is realised in a variety of media, formally and technically diverse. combining analogue and digital and cameraless tools resulting in participatory installations, sculptural interventions, video+sound

He has exhibited work across Europe, Asia and the US, and worked for major brands like Givenchy, Caron, Loewe, Kartell
