rob kesseler: up close

This book is a collection of botanical artist, Rob Kesseler’s most beautiful work, including images and texts that have inspired him. The book is a stunning compilation that represents a fusion of science, art and design, showcasing Kesseler’s passion for the natural world. He is an established artist who is fascinated by the representation of nature within contemporary culture and this theme continues throughout his books. It is a particularly influential publication because it focuses on the complexity of science and how it has shaped design from fashion to furniture.

Kesseler insists ‘I work in the area where craft, art and design overlap’ and has many roles in his personal and professional life. He is Professor of Ceramic Art & Design at Central Saint Martins College and was recently made a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and the Linnean Society. His work is at the cutting edge of contemporary art & science collaborations and his latest book ‘Close Up’ is a wonderful source of inspiration for art enthusiasts who share his inquisitive nature.
