Between PRECISION and FLOW. ✨
Step inside the world of Jochem Esser, where solitude, craft, and imagination converge into forms that feel at once futuristic and primal. His practice began quietly, borrowing tools from his father’s shed as a child and playing at being the lone craftsman. What started as make-believe grew into a lifelong pursuit of creation, where the act of making became its own language.

Jochem’s work invites us to pause, to respect the materials, the audience, and the quiet power of form emerging from process. His world is not one of answers, but of experiences, where meaning reveals itself slowly, like shadows moving across stone.

Come and see Jochem’s pieces during the open days of Collection 1 at ART[s] Gallery, The Vicarage in Bathmen.

When LIGHT Becomes the ART.✨

Light is more than illumination. It’s emotion, texture, and movement. It doesn’t just reveal the art… it becomes the art.

In Jochem Esser’s creations, light collaborates with space, shifting and breathing with every angle.

 It draws shadows, sculpts geometry, and transforms perception, catching surfaces as though they were always waiting for it. Not just decorative. Not just functional. These pieces are living conversations between design and sensation.

Come experience how light completes the artwork at The Vicarage.

A little process video of the new LED modules . I made this modification for the new sculptures that will be on show at @artsgalleryofficial Bathmen.
Check the @artsgalleryofficial website for more info!
After refining the HYVE sculptures, I set up an improvised photoshoot in my studio for the upcoming exhibition at Bathmen. @artsgalleryofficial
I’m especially drawn to the uncropped versions of the shots so had to share them here!
Each sculpture now features the new LED modules, which integrate a heatsink with a seamless stacking system for the ceramic elements.
Excited to share these soon at the expo!

Some of the speaker design for Menhir V.02
It’s a three way system containing a 10” exponential horn driver mounted in front of a 10” mid-bass driver. These two drivers are placed in a bespoke horn enclosure mounted on a rail for dynamic lineair positioning. The low end is provided by a 12” subwoofer.
Jochem Esser is een beeldend kunstenaar die geĂŻnteresseerd is in de antropologische aspecten van handgemaakte objecten.
In zijn werk combineert hij handgemaakte materialen met moderne technologie om objecten te creëren die een praktische functie hebben, maar geen echte toepassing. Zijn inspiratie haalt hij uit videogames waarin objecten worden geplaatst voor wereldopbouw en geen praktisch doel dienen. Voor Jochem creëert het met de hand creëren van deze objecten een vorm van hyperrealiteit waarbij er geen duidelijke grens is tussen het echte en het fantastische. Op deze manier streeft Esser ernaar om objecten te creëren die zich in het domein van het magisch realisme bevinden.
Het werk van Esser navigeert tussen de rijken van toegepaste en schone kunst. Hij haalt inspiratie uit onderwerpen als sciencefiction, toegepast gamedesign en oude artefacten.
Jochem Esser is a visual artist who is interested in the anthropological aspects of crafted objects.
In his work, he combines handcrafted materials with modern technology to create objects that serve a practical function but don’t have a real-life application. His inspiration comes from video games where objects are placed for world-building and don’t serve a practical purpose. For Jochem, creating these objects by hand creates a form of hyper-reality where there is no clear border between the real and the fantastical. In this way, Esser aims to create objects that are in the domain of magical realism.
Esser’s work navigates between the realms of applied and fine art. He draws inspiration from subjects like science fiction, applied game design and ancient artefacts.
