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 intricate, handmade 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]
