SUPER ABSTRACTION
About"Super Abstraction is simple, playful and bold.
My work is partly generated ~ partly composed."
Based in Switzerland
After more than 10 years of artistic activity, a key moment occurs for Marcel Moonen in 2018. Soon after he founded "Super Abstraction". Within the framework of this novel style of exaggerated abstraction, an extensive body of work is created. In the visual works, in principle, motifs are reduced to their smallest pictorial units through an artistic process, and then re-presented in different variations and compositions. In this playful process, the artist also likes to put the original motif into a new context or vice versa.
In addition to the artist's visual oeuvre, he produces essays and booklets. The artist also adapts the principle of Super Abstraction in his writing. Almost cryptographic texts, which despite their complexity ultimately convey very simple messages to the individual reader. - Represented by Kunstfund
