KEES VISSER - GALERIE JÉRÔME POGGI, PARIS

+BIOGRAPHY

Far away from the art schools and movements of which he nevertheless was a keen observer, Kees Visser (b. 1948) has gradually created his own self-taught path over the last forty years. Parting from his native Holland, where in the mid-1970s he had worked in a vein oscillating between abstraction and Fluxus, Kees Visser left to settle in Iceland, where he lived for nearly twenty years. In Iceland, he was not only in contact with a nature that profoundly marks his work, but also an incredibly cosmopolitan art scene where artists such as Dieter Roth, Donald Judd, Richard Serra, Roni Horn, Hrein Fridffinson, Adrian Schiess, Gunther Umberg, Richard Long, etc. often crossed paths.

Co-founder with a group of Icelandic artists of the Living Art Museum in Reykjavik in 1978, Kees Visser became a prominent figure in the Icelandic art world, present in most of the public and private collections in the country. Invited for a residency in Paris in the mid-1990s, it was then in France that Kees Visser developed his work on series, shape and color, creating the monochrome paintings with crystalline qualities for which he is known for today. Beyond these works, which he executes almost exclusively on paper, it is the very space of the presen-tation itself that Kees Visser progressively integrates into his work as a colorist. He expands the possibilities of the presentation of his paintings by juxtaposition, superimposing them, placing them on the floor, lining them up under glass displays several meters long, reconstituting them as mosaics, etc. It is this concentration on the space in its broadest sense that has led Kees Visser at the same time to create on-site works, taking the form of large murals or monumental installations as he recently did in a chapel in Thouars (2006), at the Eglise Saint Eustache in Paris (2007) and for the Musée Bourdelle (2010).

The Matisse Museum in Le Cateau-Cambrésis gave him a retrospective exhibition in the summer of 2009. In 2012, the National Gallery of Iceland in conjunction with the Living Art Museum of Reykjavik presented two important exhibitions of Kees Visser. His works are in several international private and public collections (Ste-delijk Museum in Amsterdam, Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, National Gallery of Iceland, Living Art Museum in Reykjavik, MOMA in New York, Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Bibliothèque Kandinsky at the Centre Pompidou, FRAC Bretagne, FNAC, etc.). The gallery has dedicated two solo shows to his work in 2009 and 2013.

+ The early 1980s saw what the young Peter Halley called the «crisis in geometry». At the time a figurative tidal wave leaded by the German New Fauves crashed onto the art world, it saw a trial in due form of postmoder-nism and of minimalist and conceptual heritage. Kees Visser was to react to this situation in a highly individual and isolated manner, taking a certain critical as well as geographical distance in relation to the art scence. He then stopped painting and created several artist’s books in which, not without a certain cynicism, he question-ned the state of society and art circles, as well as his own work. He gets back to painting in the late 1980s, by constructing the craddle for his daughter. He was inspired to paint the sltats of the base in different colours, inaugurating a series of works midway between Judd’s coloured sculptures and Armleder’s Furnisture sculp-tures, playing with the rythm, spaces and solids, the content, the form and function of an object that was as utilitarian as it was decorative. Some years later, Visser discovered the theory of colours of Kay and Berlin, for whom the distinction between colours does not depend solely on the eye’s capacity to distinguish one shade from another, but equally on the language to be able to name the differend colours ; they also identified the eleven basic colours in the current state of the Anglo-Saxon culture, colours that Kees Visser immediately adopted.

+Kees Visser’s initial works bear witness to a minimalist and conceptual sensibility. In 1973, the idea of weaving appeared in his work, which he used variously in large in drawings, where his hand weighed up the instrument. But above all, he explored the spiral motif as well as the notion of surface and pictorial space, in a series of works on paper where he subjected this form, emblematic of a certain postmodernism, to the test of drawing, colour and composition. Alongside this graphic work, several pictorial works played with the spatial and struc-tural limits of the picture, juxtaposing frames to bear the trace of a spiral which circled infinitely, beyond the support which is supposed to contain it and beyond the field of vision. Kees went to discover Iceland in the summer of 1976 and became an indefatiguable surveyvor of this territory, traveling it for more than thirty years.

The primalness of Icelandic nature, its telluric dimension and its magnetic atmosphere probably marked his life and work profundly. Its during the first winter he spent in Iceland that he began to create artist’s books, eaving together publications which he bought by the kilo from a bookshop in Reykjavik.

The work soon became more meticulous and even conceptual, broaching not only the material of the book but also the language used in it, weaving for example Dutch and Icelandic in a book now conserved at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Nurtured by the writings of Wittgenstein, which he studied assiduously, like many analytical artists in the mid 1970s, using the artist’s rather than the philosopher’s tools, Visser probed the mechanisms of language. He then turned to physical, visuel poetry which he discovered at the same time in Emmett Williams, Carl Andre and Diether Roth. In turn, Kees Visser began to recompose texts ; each time the words are deconstructed and spelled out to form a perceptible thread, no longer through the mechanisms acquired by reading, but by those of vision.

Soon, he began to weave the images, combining pages from comics, newspaper, magazines, bank notes, let-ters, musical scores, etc., to sort them in a regular weft. This approach took a more radical turn in spring 1978, when Kees Visser decided to convert the structure obtained by weaving strips into a painted weft following a strict model of nine colours.
