Wooden Distortion by Paul Kaptein
Working predominantly in sculpture and drawing, Paul Kaptein’s practice is informed by notions of Pneuma and Sunyata in exploring the fluid space between form and emptiness. Motivated by the energies that exist beneath the surface of things, his work is activated through glitches, warps, spaces, gaps, holes and fissures.
Exploring the body as the interface between quantum, relative, technological, spiritual, material, psychic and conscious states, my work collapses distinctions of internal and external binaries and linear temporalities to explore notions of identity and boundaries of self.
