We have exhibited together <a href=\"https:\/\/xndre.com\/maak-ruimte-expo-2023\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3082\">before<\/a>, and I proposed to work together on a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about the works and the process to create them <a href=\"https:\/\/xndre.com\/monochromaster-excavated-1\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4359\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/xndre.com\/monochromaster-excavated-2\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/xndre.com\/monochromaster-excavated-3\">here<\/a>.

By using these characterful objects in combination with geometrically abstract forms, a visual language is created that refers to itself independently of reality. In this way, \u2018old\u2019 inspires me to new. Like \u2018excavated pictures\u2019 excavated from my mind.In my collages, I work with mixed media: found paper and cardboard, tape, acrylic paint, gesso, marker, pencil, ballpoint\u2026 focusing on form, line, colour, composition and structure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>My artist statement for this exhibition: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In the Monochromasters series, I use a computer programme to calculate the average colour of existing works of art. Then I reproduce the works in the same format as the original works.I wanted to see if anything of a connection to the original remains. What is the essence of a work of art? When does a reproduction lose all connection with the original. The process reminds me of homeopathy: trying to dilute the originals to the extreme so that the result has a strong effect in itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I create the physical works in this series, high-quality glic\u00e9e prints on art paper, at the same size as the originals, I really feel the ethereal connection these works have with their original source works. This duo presentation is the first time the Monochromasters have been presented alongside the original artworks on which they are based. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Pictures of the

Both come from the same drive: looking for the essence and the unexpected idea.","sameAs":["https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/andrebrocatus\/"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
