Biography

Photographer Jasper Groen (1974, Nieuwkoop, photo: Kees Muizelaar) documents youngsters, their quest for a place in society and the difference between identity, personality and peer pressure. His work is exhibited by Foam Amsterdam, among others: het Nederlands Museum Rotterdam, the Melkweg Gallerie and Museum Huis Marseille in Amsterdam, and in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Nairobi.

Groen became known for his series on Flemish Jeffrey, who in a few years changed from a breakdancer into a neo-Nazi.

During the years several books appeared with his work. His personal series are published in leading Dutch and international magazines. Leading collections own his works, including SBK, the Netherlands. Collectors and others gave Groen assignments, from Hans Kemna to Duncan Stutterheim and from Viktor & Rolf to Roberto Cavalli. He also successfully participated in auctions for charity.
