Mixed Media Painted Sculpture, 2022, 77 x 31 x 30 CM

An Abstract Exploration of the Human Form
In his Mixed Media Painted Sculpture (2022), Mart Visser demonstrates his versatility as a visual artist. He deconstructs the traditional representation of a head and neck, fragmenting them into abstract geometric components inspired by Cubism. Utilizing unconventional materials such as cardboard, polyurethane, and wood, Visser creates a dynamic interplay of textures and shapes. These elements coalesce into a unique composition that invites viewers to explore the multifaceted nature of the piece. Through this work, Visser emphasizes how everyday materials can be transformed into art that pushes the boundaries of creativity.

Color Palette and Symbolism
The color scheme of black, white, and brown adds an element of elegance and enhances the contrast between the geometric forms. This palette contributes to the play of light and shadow, offering an intriguing surface from every angle. The arrangement of various cubist shapes symbolizes the different facets of a character that together form a whole person. Visser’s choice of the head as a motif allows for variation and experimentation, resulting in a work of art that is both visually and conceptually engaging.
