James Koester

 

Vancouver, BC artist, James Koester creates poetic sculptures and mixed-media work that utilize and stimulate the senses through a refined language of line, form, texture, light, colour and movement.  Koester’s work centres around dialogue:  the dialogue, tension and balance of the materials he uses, and more importantly the dialogue that is created between the artist and his work and the work and the viewer.  His use of materials (metal, found objects) creates a strong sense of materiality, yet at the same time the work is elegant, personal and at times almost fragile.  Koester’s sculptures are at once quiet, humorous, and quirky and always meaningful.  His adept skill as a craftsman, artist and technician allows the work to successfully straddle the fine line between craft and art.
