Drewes de Wit has been a practicing artist for 50 years. His work is rooted in the fundamental art of the 1970s, where process and research holds greater value than the final product. De Wit, however, takes it a step further, with the process remaining significant but the eventual outcome guiding the way. The sleek and polished surface, along with the seemingly blurred imagery in his paintings, create a subtle yet refined aesthetic. However, the intention is not to evoke poetry or mysticism. Instead, it is grounded in scientific principles, reminiscent of examining tiny creatures under a microscope or deciphering symbols from a forgotten language. De Wit’s work is a captivating journey for the viewer, an adventurous exploration of intricate details that never cease to fascinate.
