Jørgen works as a sculptor since more than 20 years

studio

 

Jorgen Missotten extends his approach from stone sculpting to painting, translating stone carving into captivating strokes and movements on canvas. Central to my artistic philosophy is the pursuit of capturing light, as evident in my series ‘Peeling Light.’ Through this body of work, I employ a unique technique, utilizing tools to create impressions of sliced matter. Whether it’s the weighty solidity of stones or the ephemeral nature of air, each slice becomes a vessel for illuminating the interplay between form and luminosity.

‘My years of doing projects in materials like stone, wood and marble defined substantially my approach to painting. 

‘Peeling Light’ refers to the surfaces of the sculptures I made the last 20 years. Shaping the curves of the marble surface is a process that you can master until you start to polish. Its the moment when the reflection of the light takes over and you loose control in understanding the actual shape. It’s like a thin layer of light that wraps the sculpture.

In ‘Clouds’ I aim to encapsulate the essence of my surroundings, transforming fleeting moments and intimate projects into tangible expressions. Each piece serves as a visual narrative, weaving together layers of emotion and introspection.’
