ANNEMARIEKE KLOOSTERHOF
Current Exhibitions: 2026
Strawberry Hill House, London UK
I was commissioned by the Courtauld institute to create a paper-craft replica of the famous Grinling Gibbons woodcarved cravat of the V&A, originally owned Horace Wallpole, at Strawberry Hill House.
Created using only white paper, the piece is true to size and painstakingly recreated using thousands of tiny handcut, scored and puctured pieces of paper to resemble the layered effect of the original detailed floral lace design. The paper artpiece was part of a group exhibition, but due to popular demand, my Paper Cravat has been extended and is now exhibited at Strawberry Hill House until September 2026.
Leighton House - London, UK
My solo-exhibition "Ghost Objects" at Leighton House museum, is a bespoke commission, recreating 4 missing artefacts from the museums archive, completely out of white paper: A chair, an inlaid cabinet, a lifesize palm-tree growing out of an urn, and most impressively of all: a highly decorated ornamental Madonna & Child italian shrine/ Tabernacle... all pieces made completely out of intricate layers of white paper. The exhibition was up for 5 months from Oct 2025 - March 2026 - but the pieces remain on site at Leighton House Museum and can still be viewed by the public.
(Calling ahead is adviced)

Stop Motion & Animation
Puzzle Design
A self-initiated lockdown project during the height of the pandemic, shifting focus to old fashioned forms of entertainment with a fresh new look, puzzles and painting! The aim was to create a design that expressed the main thing we needed to get through months of isolation: playful joy, some structure, and happy positive colours!
Mural Painting: Camden Dental Centre
A commissioned mural painting for the roof-terrace of the Camden Dental Practice in London. The brief was to create an abstract geometric design featuring the practice’s brand colours: orange and blue, but elevate it to a playful design with hints of optical illusions and forced perspective. Designed & painted in the summer of 2020.
Blue Nude: Recycled Paper Artwork
A self developed technique using paper-pulp to create almost paint-like fine artworks. The first in a series exploring the boundaries of female sexuality and self expression, which questions the line between Painting: where female nudes are considered Fine Art, and Nude Selfies: which is considered crude, low-brow and even taboo!
Highlighted Projects
AT&T - Illustration Campaign 2020
I was commissioned by AT&T to create their full digital, online and print campaign for 2020! The project took nearly 3 months from start to finish, and was created during London’s first lockdown. The campaign contained over 50+ paper-cut illustrations, icons and characters, which were drawn by hand, digitally mocked up, paper-cut and assembled, then photographed and edited as the final library of illustrations, which were then animated by the client for online use.
Un/Locked - Collage Series
Un/Locked is a series of 7 portraits, showing a diverse range of kids and how each of them experienced a year in lockdown. Based on a series of interviews and a photoshoot, we created paper artworks based on my interpretation of the kid’s answers.
The collage series was featured in the magazine Hooligans on the 1 year anniversary of the start of Lockdown and made the front cover.
