Paul Drissen. Shot Cuts
Past exhibition
In Paul Drissen. Short Cuts, Paul Drissen brings together more than thirty works.
Abstract visual idiom
His oeuvre conveys a nostalgic yearning for the modernist tradition. In paintings of casein and pigment, spatial paper collages and cuttings, he updates the abstract visual idiom of his great predecessors, such as Piet Mondriaan or Kazimir Malevich. For this, he uses improvisation as a method and explicitly incorporates chance. The result is always an image in a precarious balance, as if it could fall apart at any time, at which point the moment would be over.
