Bronze Sculpture 1/3 (2021): Abstraction and Material Experience
Mart Visser's bronze sculpture is a powerful example of abstract art, bringing together geometric forms and rich textures. The artwork consists of blocks and rectangles playfully but precisely stacked on top of each other, reminiscent of building blocks. The warm rust-brown color of the sculpture contrasts with the shiny bronze pedestal, creating a dynamic tension. Although the sculpture doesn't depict a recognizable figure, it evokes associations with a building, ruins, or even a human body. The separate shapes may seem disconnected at first glance, but together they form a powerful whole that invites contemplation.

Inspiration from Southern France: Simplicity and Balance
Visser is often inspired by materials he finds, such as the blocks from Southern France that form the basis of this sculpture. These found elements give the work an authentic and personal touch. The combination of simplicity, balance, and material use showcases Visser's ability to transform raw materials into a work of art that feels both strong and vulnerable. The work invites viewers to take a quiet moment to look at it and discover their own meaning in it. This sculpture is a striking example of Visser's multidisciplinary approach, combining his background as a fashion designer with his passion for visual arts. His work has been featured in various museums and galleries, including Museum Beelden aan Zee and Parc Broekhuizen. This piece is number 1 of an edition of 3.
