Abel Kamps (1999, Doetinchem) explores human values and social norms such as (over)consumption, trust, and mortality. Concept and choice of materials are inextricably linked, with everyday objects becoming metaphors that evoke an inner dialogue. Through detail, simplicity, humor, and tension, he creates situations that trigger an immediate physical response and linger in the mind, remaining both provocative and elusive.

With every project he works on, Abel Kamps tries to enter his field of work with an open and uninhibited view, preferring not to build on previously made work or to deepen it. He wants to avoid prejudiced positions or positions in order to without ballast, blank and open the creation process. Mapping out all the factors in that process is an important part of this.
