Casper Warmoeskerken (1977) was educated at the Royal Acadamy of Art The Hague.
On his large canvasses he paints, with the slow regard of fine art, realisticly and lifesized, characters from Hiphop and streetculture. By lifting these characters from their original context and placing them in the slightly surreal settings of his paintings, their attitudes and expressions take on a different meaning. This makes viewers question their own attitude towards the subjects on the canvas. The contrast between the often harsh and impersonal world depicted and the personal and engaging paintingstyle of the artist are essential to the work.
In 2009 and 2012 his work was nominated for the Royal Award for Painting.
