Untitled//Unfinished 2022

In the untitled dots series, the artist takes the explosive world of visuals and distills them into a space whose depth cannot be determined, colours cannot be extricated, and forms continually rearrange when out of eye sight. 

 

Bosschaart’s work is highly influenced by ideas of physical sciences. The observer effect, quantum theory, and relativism. This marriage of science has historically worked in tandem. The study of colour was an early venture taken by both artist and scientist, a category which used to intersect through vigorous experimentation. This new series brings about the sense of wonder into the mysteries and deceptions of the chromatic world. The colours seem to breathe and bounce, and slip through the shared dimensions on the picture plane. This arresting visual show leaves the viewer both soothed, in the form of cosmic awe, but continual searching for the color which pops into focus and out again.  

 

The pieces themselves were created with mandala-like concentration. Slowly building them up over months of time in a process that involves an active practice of experimentation. The control and acceptance of chaos echoes through the piece.

Dirt

To null.

What started out as an experiment in mark making, turned into an extensive and ongoing art series, exploring entropic principles and the desire of materials such as steel and copper to return to a state of equilibrium with its surroundings.

 

For the series, the artist takes these raw materials and, by a chemical process, imprints their decay onto canvas while at the same time superimposing form and structure unto them. In this, he finds a way to collaborate with nature, on the one hand letting it roam free and wild, while on the other hand, reining it in and putting his own stamp on the process. The resulting works lend a tenderness to materials that are otherwise experienced as lifeless and cold.
