Cecilia Vissers "Ultima Thule (The Far North)"
Masters & Pelavin
This event has ended.
Masters & Pelavin presents a solo exhibition of recent sculptures by Dutch artist, Cecilia Vissers. Inspired by the landscape of 'the far north' of Scotland during a trip in 2011, Cecilia decided to focus on the cliffs and extreme edges of land, this is the most north-westerly point in mainland Britain. Isolated and dramatic. This work is an abstraction of the landscape, its purity, color and clear line. This will be the artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery and in the US.
The experience fundamental to Cecilia Vissers' works, is that of the hiker walking the narrow path on top of a mountain ridge, left and right of her the abyss of space, or along the cliffs of a rough coastal line with at one side the endless expanses above the ocean. From the landscapes she loves, she brings in the combination of matter and atmosphere: matter as in the sheer weight of her wall-sculptures, atmosphere as in their architecture. Every measure, every curve in her work is carefully considered and reconsidered, as repeated hikes through a specific landscape shed new light on it every time. It's in the nature of the landscape that it never repeats itself.
