Arno Coenen, born in 1972 in Deventer Holland, is a true multimedia artist. His computer is his main tool; however multimedia for him means a broad range of contemporary and old-school media forced into a powerful symbiosis. The content of his work does not only reflect on the digital world, but gained in the last years more of a social dimension. Arno's inspiration comes from the outside world, such as from the world of kickboxing, a sport he enjoys and practices himself. A proud "geuzennaam'' (=nickname) however given to him is 'volkskunstenaar', peoples artist. No doubt, his work is colourful. Nuff said, check it out for yourself.
