Colourful, intense, big, but also intimate and small. What Visscher creates comes from deep inside. He doesn’t do any concession to commerce and recent developments/trends. He works from the large gesture, expressive and yet subtle. His work is tangibly substantive, it has substance. This intrinsic value flows from his inspiration. Everything what happens around him, can, eventually, lead to a painting or a sculpture. The news, war, but also philosophical idea’s about transience and mankind. Mankind is energy. And out of that energy Visscher create his art. Art and being an artist, closely entwined.
