In 2024, Koen Kievits (b. 1996, Hilversum, NL) was selected by the Mondriaan Fund to take part in Prospects at Art Rotterdam, a section dedicated to promising young talent. This year, he is presenting his first solo exhibition at the fair at Coppejans Gallery. In addition, a large sculpture will be on display in the Sculpture Park. Sculpture Park.
Koen Kievits’ work is rooted in a precise and analytical approach to form, rhythm and repetition. His sculptural interventions and installations are clear and economical, yet never purely formal: they explore how scale, order and deviation generate meaning within the space. By introducing minimal shifts, modulations and tensions, Kievits activates the viewer’s perception and makes the space itself part of the work. His oeuvre balances between rigour and openness, control and chance, and invites a concentrated, physical experience in which looking becomes a form of measuring and probing.
