After you’ve gone
140x100 cm
Wim Zorn started out as figurative
painter, but soon a need to
simplify forms arose. In 2002
Hans Paalman (former director
of the Schiedam Municipal
Museum in the Netherlands)
started him off on a different
track: Abstraction. The painter
relinquished his reliance on reality
and learned to trust his intuïtion
and feelings. At once his
studio became both a delivery
room and a laboratory. Here he
creates an autonomous world
of material, form, and colour,
in which spatial experiences are
combined with physical presence.
Everything revolves on an
ultimate combination of simplicity,
balance, visual tension,
and the creation of space and
quietude.
