The Artist
Jesper Waaben Bogaard was born in Odense, Denmark, in 1978.
Jesper studied at the Department of Arts and Crafts and worked with film sets in London as a teenager. Jesper is the son of an engineer and has been building since childhood. Jesper has been working with art and design since 2002 and produces sculptural lamps made of tree.
For Jesper, taming raw, chaotic creativity and a playground where light and movement are an integral part of the process. Artistic technique based on fundamental research at the intersection of material and philosophy.
Light, sculpture and movement are key words for Jesper,and if an installation can be statically structured, the process is always dynamic. Playful thought experiments, distilled into concrete visual outputs, are descriptive of Jesper.
