Kensuke Koike (b.1980, Japan) creates unique artwork by manipulating found photographic material. Kensuke’s approach to the medium revolves around the idea of using the assets found within an image. Creating something new and contemporary. The process for the artist often starts as a puzzle begging to be solved with each image setting its own unique challenges.
