Geke Schalkwijk

Geke Schalkwijk is an artist inspired by everyday life and behavior in the modern Western world. He is fascinated by the malleability of contemporary life and seeks to reveal the absurdity of our seemingly normal existence.

Geke achieves this by working with everyday objects, archetypes, and symbols of our time, which he alters, distorts, or places in new contexts. Through these transformations, he explores the norms and values that have been attributed to these objects and symbols over the years. By introducing these changes, Geke offers a critical and refreshing perspective on modern life. His work invites us to reflect on the influence of our habits and the constructed nature of our culture.
