Kensuke Koike

(born June 28, 1980, in Nagoya, Japan) is a contemporary visual artist. Koike currently resides in Venice, Italy. He is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, Venice and the Università Iuav di Venezia Faculty of Arts & Design (2007). He is best known for his intricate, handmade collages.

In 2016, he began a series in collaboration with French photography curator Thomas Sauvin titled No More, No Less.

Initially using his own photographs, Koike began using archival images and photographs found a flea markets. He chose to do this as it requires more thought to be put into the cutting process as there are no other copies of the image being used.
