Danny Giesbers' abstract paintings delve into the juxtapositions between control and chaos, the man-made and the natural world, and the complexities of brushstrokes, movement, lines, forms, and transformation. His unique technique, influenced by screenprinting, traditional printmaking, and Japanese methods, aims to evoke a range of emotions such as awe, wonder, and serenity. Through his use of colors, translucency, and negative space, Giesbers' artworks invite viewers to reflect, introspect, and form emotional and spiritual connections, leading to a deeper level of engagement. His pieces are non-representational, free from any figurative references.
Employing a methodical, algorithmic, yet chance-based approach, Giesbers applies seemingly textureless paint strokes separated by transparent layers to produce contemporary, digitally-inspired works with added depth. Each stroke plays a role in shaping the composition of lines, forms, and translucencies, with Giesbers choosing not to make adjustments or alterations once a stroke is completed, opting instead to erase and redo a layer entirely. This process, reminiscent of societal evolution or personal growth, reflects the continuous pursuit of improvement and adaptation to change. Despite its opulent appearance, this technique presents a challenge for the perfectionist artist. The emotional intensity of the process, involving the repetition of layers up to thirty times and tough decision-making, results in a limited number of artworks being created and nurtures a profound bond between the artist and his creations.
Giesbers' art has been showcased in various international locations such as Taipei, London, Madrid, and Urmond (NL), and is held in private collections across countries like the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Taiwan, and Switzerland.
