Jan Eric Visser

Lieke Mangindaan wrote a wonderful review about ‘Material Worlds’ @ Lustwarande for Metropolis M last Friday “noticing works that turn the ingrained relationship between man and landscape upside down”. About my work: “This also goes for the organic sculptures The Odes (2022) of Jan Eric Visser. The division between what is artificial or made by humans and what is natural, seems to no longer exist. The plastic sculptures seem to have grown organically, as if they have always belonged to the woods……….
Visser’s sculptures of plastic – a material that has invaded our landscape, bodies and art – showcase how human impact on landscapes and ecosystems ends up directly with us in an opaque, dark loop: we are also part of nature. To create the sculptures Visser recycled post-consumer plastics and re-used the same moulds to waste as little as possible material. The sinous objects showcase that people can be wrongdoer, victim, but possibly also the healer of their time”. On till 27 September!
