Artistic Approach

Kaptein’s sculptures create equilibrium between opposing conditions:

  • Movement and stillness
  • Matter and void
  • The finite and the infinite

Key Themes

The artist uses the body as both a figurative reference and process-based element, positioning it as a permeable site of ongoing remix. His work investigates energetic and ontological tensions that evoke states of transition, rupture, and cyclical patterns. By destabilizing permanence and linearity, the work prompts viewers to reconsider conceptions of place, space, and temporality.

Artistic Impact

Through deliberate disruption, Kaptein draws attention to the fragility of material reality while suggesting alternative possibilities. His skillfully rendered pieces encourage critical examination of how we understand spatial and temporal existence.
