SUPER ABSTRACTION
About"Super Abstraction is simple, playful and bold.
My work is partly generated ~ partly composed."
Based in Switzerland
After more than a decade of artistic exploration, Marcel Moonen reached a pivotal moment in 2018 with the founding of "Super Abstraction." These exaggerated abstractions became the foundation for an expansive body of work. Within his visual compositions, Moonen meticulously deconstructs motifs into their smallest pictorial units through a distinct artistic process, then reassembles them in diverse forms and contexts. This playful yet methodical approach often transforms the original subject, either by embedding it into a new setting or by allowing its essence to emerge in unexpected ways. Beyond visual art, Moonen extends Super Abstraction into the realm of writing. His essays and booklets embrace an almost cryptographic structure; dimensional, intricate, yet ultimately designed to deliver simple, distilled messages to the individual reader.
From this conceptual fusion emerge Hybrid Artefacts that dissolve the boundaries between abstraction and meaning, image text, perception and deconstruction. - Represented by Kunstfund
