Alexander Korsmit (1951)

Here is a text which i found on one of the exhibitions by Korsmit. It shows the way this artist thinks and creatyes.

A sheet is the ideal base for projecting our existence as an imagination of life. Between the sheets, we are conceived, on the sheet, we are born, we sleep underneath it, and wrapped in the sheet, we enter death. The sheet is also the linen, the canvas that the artist uses as a base, the carrier of their worldview. Alexander Korsmit approaches the sheet as a tracker, connecting the signs that he discovers with what he imagines, making connections on instinct. In automatic writing, he delves into the depth and range of the signals that people unconsciously emit, often unaware of their own meaning, which must be valued by the receiver. For Alexander Korsmit, drawing is a pointer. He quotes what he picks up and highlights what speaks to him, connecting his findings. Thus, the symbol functions between people in a meaning that is not universal but is understood in the mutual harmony between the artist and the viewer. The image undergoes a transformation between creation and decay. Alexander Korsmit stretches a sheet between birth and ultimate release, finding a path in the course of life.
