Beppe Kessler (1952, Amsterdam) is a contemporary painter and jewellery maker and who lives and works in the Netherlands. Kessler graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 1979, with a degree in textile art and industrial textile design. When painting she uses a multitude of materials, mixed and on top of each other, sometimes sanded away again, until they merge into one image. The carrier, whether canvas or metal, is just as important as the paint. Canvas is stretched with force in such a way that it – literally- starts to undulate, metal is scratched. The paintings always show movement, movement in the form, which changes when you slide your eyes over it, and movement in the play of colors and material and yet,they posses a silent power.
