Ed Koumans

Edward Koumans was born 1946 in The Hague, Holland, arriving in Australia with his family in 1949. He lives and works in Cairns, Queensland. Koumans is one of Far North Queensland’s favourite artists, delighting collectors and artists for over two decades with his witty, ironic and sometimes sinister figurative assemblages and paintings. In the tradition of assemblage sculpture, Koumans presents figures constructed from everyday flotsam and jetsam. Mementos of times gone by and ethnographic fragments, discarded odds and ends take on new life this time as beautiful eclectic necklaces.
