An exploration of colors and forms
Influenced by the human condition and natural flow
-----------------------------------
Isabelle Van Brussel (1967), visual artist based in Ghent, Belgium
is fascinated by how nature/human life transforms and tries to extend this regeneration into her own creativity. She compares the chemical process of painting with the complex landscape of the earth. The underlying organic interests her. Each color feeds on those it covers.
Her artistic process is strongly organic/intuitive, balancing between abstract figurative and gestural abstraction, where the interplay of light and color is essential. She explores transformation, matter, and energy and investigates the complexity of colors and forms, influenced by nature (usually the landscape) and by her own experiences and emotions.
The primary aim is to create paintings which exude a captivating force of energy on the viewer while maintaining a critical perspective on the transient nature of life.
