Not only in art, but as a way of looking at life around us. Allowing the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eeyes to gaze for a little longer than usual allows the meaning of the work to open itself up in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003enovel ways. It encourages viewers to reject quick definitions and instead welcome the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ecomplexities that are inherently a part of life while accepting the possibility that many truths\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003emay exist at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhether organizing exhibitions of other artists or crafting my own artwork, I want to\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eencourage that way of looking. Art can help us away from our addiction to being constantly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003edistracted, and inspire us to look at a slower pace and reflect on a deeper level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWith my drawings and collage paintings, I aim to mix formal minimalism with imaginative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eopenness, and explore the relationships of controlled structure and open-ended\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003erandomness. I think of it like a ballet: simple and disciplined at first glance with underlying\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003elayers of complexity discovered after a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/mitchelbresijn.com\/nl\/collections\/vico-persson.oembed","provider":"mitchel bresijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
