Carolijn Visser opens Carel Visser exhibition at Borzo Gallery
On Saturday, May 30, at 4 pm, Borzo Gallery will host an exhibition featuring the works of Carel Visser, inaugurated by Carolijn Visser. The author of the newly released book 'Broers,' she will provide a short introduction and discuss her publication. Carel Visser (1928-2015) is regarded as a pivotal figure among post-war Dutch sculptors. Unlike many of his peers who adhered to academic figuration, Visser embraced radical abstraction. His creations from the 1960s and 1970s resonate with global movements like Minimal Art. His diverse body of work encompasses sculptures, drawings, collages, reliefs, and woodcuts, utilizing industrial materials to forge dynamic compositions that balance the mechanical with the organic, favoring iron and steel, along with glass, cardboard, wood, aluminum, and feathers.
