Opening at LeRustique

Kim Cornelius was born in The Netherlands in 1975.

She graduated with honours in 2001 from the Academy of Visual Arts and Art Education, Tilburg, The Netherlands.

Kim Cornelius shows remarkable skills in combining her inborn talent for design and styling with her urge and drive to deliver ‘messages’ through art.

Her messages are both profoundly critical of social structures and intensively personal at the same time.
Her use of techniques in order to create artwork is innovative and experimental, due to her curiosity and her constant research for ‘solutions’.

The skills presented here in her first solo show in Africa are wide-ranging (photo, video, mixed media) thanks to her experimental and multi-disciplinary approach to art.

Kim Cornelius won the prestigious Art Prize of the De Pont Museum of Contemporary Art, Tilburg in 2001.

The jury report referred to her video installation by mentioning the shocking, personal, emotional content of the images and, at the same time, its quality of presenting such penetrated, personal and highly emotional images in a sublimated, transformed way, raising it to a universal level.
