Esmee Seebregts gives shape to the unpredictable power of colour. The colors in her work pulse, move, pull, push and radiate. They seduce, intoxicate, deceive, enchant and leave us enchanted. Seebregts’ looks into what color actually means. She tries to find the essence of color and to understand its sensory, cultural and transcendental effect.
Is color part of the surface of things? Was color added to the world at the last minute and can it be rubbed off right away? Or does color have a place within things? Did the world ever begin as a colorful haze and did all shapes and meanings arise from there? By working with pure pigments and on large surfaces, Seebregts takes the viewer into a truly colorful experience.
The painting Partituur can be read as a piece of music, 'a partituur'. Each color represents a sound, a feel. The color transitions, contrasts, durations and tones create a unique rhythm.
