About "Primal soil - Study in two parts"

by Hans Kwaspen

About the artwork

For me, Primal Ground is a search for the language of matter-a language that speaks without words, but through colour, texture and traces of time. In this work, I have captured a surface in which rust, discolouration and flaking combine to form an abstract landscape. The vertical separation between the two halves feels like a boundary between worlds: one part dark and closed, the other lighter, opening.

My inspiration comes from the mysticism of German philosopher Meister Eckhart, who describes the primal ground as the origin of all images and words. While photographing, I did not feel like a maker, but a witness to what had already formed in silence-a skin of time, slowly revealing itself.

The atmosphere is hushed and charged. The work evokes associations with Antoni Tàpies' material art or Aaron Siskind's photographic abstraction, in which the surface itself carries meaning. There is no narrative here, but an invitation to reflection.

What makes this work special is the space it leaves to the viewer. It is not an image of something recognisable, but a visual silence that reveals itself differently each time. As a work of art on the wall, it acts as an anchor point-a place where the gaze is allowed to rest and the mind is allowed to wander.
