Bronze Pink Sculpture - Transformation of Material and Visual Poetry
With the Bronze Pink Sculpture (2024), Mart Visser Artwork presents a serene and experimental art object in which functionality and sculptural beauty blend. The foundation of the work is a found iron hoop, once a functional part of a wine barrel. Visser deformed this into an oval structure and stretched delicate plaster threads across it, as if drawing lines in the air. This playful but precise action results in a composition in which contrasts take center stage: robust versus fragile, closed versus open, heavy versus light. By ultimately casting these temporary materials in bronze, Visser gives them a lasting, almost monumental form. The subtle pink patina softens the industrial character of the object and gives the sculpture an unexpectedly poetic and soft appearance. The sculpture invites a slow, attentive gaze. New lines and perspectives emerge from every angle. The work is a quiet dialogue between material and maker, between past and present.

Simplicity, craftsmanship, and experimental depth
Mart Visser is known for his fascination with material transformation and his ability to elevate the everyday to a higher level. In this bronze sculpture, craftsmanship, minimalism, and experimentation come together. Visser often works with objects that bear a history - with visible traces of time and use. He respects that history but transforms the object into something new. During this creative process, he leaves room for chance: the material partly determines how the plaster threads bend and how the pink patina adheres. The result is a restrained but powerful image that slowly unfolds. A sculpture that invites reflection on material, time, and meaning. A work that has minimalist quality but at the same time is a striking piece due to the material and color. Mart Visser's Bronze Pink Sculpture (2024) is an intriguing artwork that blurs the boundaries between functionality and art. It starts with a simple iron hoop, once used around a wine barrel, which Visser transformed into an oval shape. Within this oval structure, he stretched fragile plaster threads, as if drawing lines in the air. This combination of robust metal and fragile plaster creates a play of contrasts: strength versus vulnerability, closed versus open forms. The entire object was then cast in bronze, giving the ephemeral materials a lasting form. A soft pink patina adds an unexpected gentleness, softening the industrial character of the hoop and giving the sculpture a poetic charm.
