This work is number 5 from the sold-out edition of 5 + 2 AP.

With allusions to 19th century painting and 20th century commercial photography, Kooiker's soft-focus images function as a lush appropriation of art historical influences. Hunting and Fishing is a delicate hybrid of representation and abstraction, balancing a sense of intimacy with elusive anonymity and detachment.

Kooiker studied at the Koninklijke Akademie, The Hague. His works have been exhibited internationally in dozens of solo and group shows, including Netherlands Now: L'ecole du Nord at Maison Européene de la Photographie, Paris in 2006. He has published a number of books and in 1996 was the winner of the Prix de Rome. Kooiker lives and works in Amsterdam.
