Contempo

Jasper van den Ham creates paintings and works on paper that explore memory, place, and imagination. Drawing on fragments of landscapes, architecture, and personal recollections, he constructs places that do not exist geographically but emerge from different experiences and locations. His background in photography continues to inform his attention to framing, light, and composition, while painting allows him to move beyond photographic representation. Found materials, including cardboard, packaging, and book pages, also become surfaces on which remembered and imagined places converge.
