Jespser Kirketerp

Born in Denmark but raised in the heart of Bangkok, Jesper Kirketerp brings a unique cultural perspective to his work as a sculptor and painter. In 2007, he moved to London to study at Wimbledon College of Art, earning an FDA in Fine Art and a BA (Hons) in Technical Arts and Special Effects. His multidisciplinary training—ranging from carpentry and metalwork to life sculpting and mold-making—forms the backbone of his highly detailed and imaginative practice.

Fascinated by mechanics, anatomy, science fiction, and natural forms, Jesper’s work draws from a wide spectrum of influences, including the chaotic energy of Ralph Steadman, the raw emotion of Basquiat, and the biomechanical surrealism of H.R. Giger. His sculptures often reflect a tension between reality and imagination, inspired by artists like Ron Mueck and Ji Yong Ho, while his paintings echo a similar curiosity for the organic and engineered.

Through a blend of precision craftsmanship and conceptual depth, Jesper continues to push creative boundaries—transforming complex ideas into striking visual narratives.
