Johke Steenkamp

My work is inspired by the seductive qualities of different materials and their visual language within popular culture. A juxtaposition of fantasy and reality with graphic, novel, pop art characteristics to intensify the simple, yet bold aesthetic of my products. I make reference to organic shapes as nature remains one of the dominant themes I work with - exploring the connection between reality and fantasy in a playful manner. The need to transform spaces stems from my Fine Art background, where it became clear to me that what I long for most, is to walk into a room and be completely blown away by the presence of an irresistibly beautiful object.
