Mixed Media Collage, 2019, 36,5 x 28 CM

Unique mixed media collage by Mart Visser
This unique mixed media collage from 2019 is a refined example of Mart Visser’s signature style, in which material, color, and composition come together. The work, measuring 36.5 by 28 centimeters, is built up in layers of various elements in blue, yellow, black, white, and grey. The combination of different materials creates a tangible depth that invites close observation. Despite its modest size, the piece has a powerful presence. Each fragment carries its own texture and history, giving the collage both a raw and refined quality.

Tension and harmony in a unique artwork
As is often the case in Visser’s oeuvre, the contrast between order and intuition plays an important role here as well. The composition appears carefully constructed, yet remains open and suggestive. Bright color accents create rhythm and movement within the whole. The collage is not only a play of forms and colors but also a reflection on transience and transformation. The traces of use in some of the materials add an extra layer of meaning. This unique work is a testament to Mart Visser’s talent for bringing together tension and harmony in a compact yet expressive visual language. The artwork is particularly well suited to an intimate space where its layered nature can be fully experienced up close.
