Kensuke Koike (小池健輔, Koike Kensuke) (born June 28, 1980, in Nagoya, Japan)[1][2] is a contemporary visual artist. Koike currently resides in Venice, Italy. He is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, Venice (2004)[3] and the Università Iuav di Venezia Faculty of Arts & Design (2007). He is best known for his collages.[4][5]
In 2016, he began a series in collaboration with French photography curator Thomas Sauvin titled No More, No Less.[4] Using images selected by Sauvin, Koike shifts and swaps sections of the images without taking anything away, hence the title of the series.[6][7][2]
Initially using his own photographs, Koike began using archival images and photographs found a flea markets. He chose to do this as it requires more thought to be put into the cutting process as there are no other copies of the image being used.[7]
