The work of Esmee Seebregts is an ode to colour. In her work she focuses entirely on the power of color and the sensory perception it causes. She tries to understand the essence of color and its cultural and supersensible effect in addition to their sensory effect. The colors in her works pulsate, move, pull, push and radiate. They seduce, intoxicate, deceive, enchant and leave us in the intangible.
The careful preparation of her own egg tempera paint and the preparation of a substrate for it are an important part of her work. Her colors have an enormous radiance, which is created by the coloring power of the pigments and the clarity of the binder. In the works from her Origin series, Seebregts depicts her own perception of color and depicts the specific nature of the colours. For example, lilac is mobile and challenging to capture in a form, orange is powerful and lively and blue is introverted. The meditative character of yellow is well expressed in a series of color circles that appear soft and airy.
Performing artistic research into the meaning of color is a quest to answer her questions; Whether color is on the surface of things or added to the world at the last minute? Perhaps it can be rubbed off again. And if the world once began as a colorful blur, did all forms and meanings originate from there?
