Within this work of art by Van der Leck, a bird is broken down into horizontal, vertical, and diagonal black lines, accompanied by floating planes of color. This represents a quest for the universal essence of the visible world—the ultimate reality, so to speak. By capturing a viewer observing this abstraction, I bring the visible world back into the composition, bringing the artistic cycle full circle.
All the best, Gerard
