ILLUSTRATIONS FROM LOST STORIES by Van Renselar
As a contemporary abstract artist, Van Renselar is more concerned with form and colour as an alternative to subject matter. It is not his aim to represent our surroundings or any particular object, he forms ideas from experiences which are visual, cerebral and emotional in nature. Van Renselar's inspiration can as easily be sparked by lines from a poem as by an emotional event.
Colour is equally as important as the general design to Van Renselar and he will spend a lot of time perfecting the tone of a particular colour, his primary objectives being to establish harmony both in terms of composition and the use of colour. Across the range of pictures there is no defining key of symbols - there is no ‘language’ for the viewer to learn, each picture establishes itself on its own visual merits and the viewer’s interest.
As Van Renselar says, "I want to use my knowledge of colour, image and line to make pictures which involve and intrigue the viewer. I take ideas from around and within me, using intuition and imagination to create a new context. Much of my work stems from my subconscious, where I see actions, events and ideas as particular shapes and colours. It took me a long time to fully realise that not everyone translated the world in this way.”
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF VAN RENSELAR'S WORK
Van Renselar's work is created from several sources such as drawing (either on paper or directly onto screen), digital photography, painting and scanning. These separate elements are all collaged together on a computer into a digital file which is then output as a giclee canvas and sealed. This form of working is sometimes mistakenly called CGA (computer generated art) - a description Van Renselar rejects energetically. "The computer generates nothing at all, it is merely a ‘receptacle’ for collecting the different elements together - collage is a more accurate description".
