Joris Turenhout

Joris Turenhout is a contemporary artist known for his multidisciplinary approach, seamlessly blending elements of sculpture, installation, and conceptual art to explore themes of identity, history, and collective memory. Born in the Netherlands, Turenhout studied at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, where he developed a keen interest in the interplay between material, context, and societal narrative. His works often incorporate found objects and everyday materials, transformed through subtle interventions and thoughtful arrangements that encourage viewers to reconsider notions of value, permanence, and personal connection.

Exhibited in galleries and alternative spaces throughout Europe, Turenhout’s practice is marked by a contemplative sensibility and a focus on the evocative power of objects, using art as a means to question and illuminate the complexities of our lived environment.
