Job Koelewijn is an abstract artisan, whose creations often evoke intense sensations. Though his art takes on various forms – spanning from dominating installations and site-specific installations to videos, photography, and sculptures – they all share the purpose of altering reality to enhance a sense of place and time, heightening consciousness and sharpening the mind. To achieve this, Koelewijn’s pieces appeal to multiple senses simultaneously, making the observer cognizant of the influence of their senses.
In addition to visual elements, language is also a critical component of Koelewijn’s creative repertoire, manifesting in the forms of poetry, literature, and philosophy. Since 2006, Koelewijn has dedicated 45 minutes a day to reading aloud as part of his Ongoing Reading Project (since February 1st, 2006), viewing reading as a mental exercise.
