Danny Giesbers is a Dutch, autodidact abstract painter who incorporates 21st century developments into his abstract paintings. His self-developed technique and process are partially algorithmic, and partially intuitive. While working with chance, Giesbers attempts to guide his works by the choice of materials and through execution of his meditative application of each layer. His emotional state and level of focus play an important part in the execution and its result.
Aesthetically, Giesbers strives to make his works appear futuristic, and digital, though they are fully analogue. His Shifts paintings evoke serenity, dissonance, harmony and change. For this series, Giesbers mobilizes phosphorescent paints to create luminescent fields of color that glow in the dark, causing a literal shift in perspective as conditions change. Rather than being objects of passive viewing, the Shift paintings take an active role to make a statement about transformation, and the interrelationships between forces and elements in the physical world. Giesbers refers to this work as Transformative Abstraction.
Danny Giesbers, born in 1986 in Roermond, Netherlands, is a Dutch contemporary abstract painter currently based in The Hague. Known for his methodical, algorithmic approach combined with intuitive processes, Giesbers creates contemporary paintings that appear digitally inspired yet are entirely analog. His work explores the juxtapositions between control and chaos, investigating the complexities of movement, form, and transformation through a unique technique influenced by screenprinting, traditional printmaking, and Japanese methods.
Education
While self-taught as an artist, Giesbers' formal education is in business, having completed two degrees: a Bachelor's in International Business and Languages, followed by a Master's in Business Administration with a specialization in Strategic Management. His studies included international experience with a minor in Cracow and an internship in Vienna. Though not formally trained in art, Giesbers notes that his business education, particularly in strategic management, has enhanced his ability to develop artistic concepts and run his art practice professionally.
Inspiration
His work draws significant influence from Abstract Expressionism, particularly artists like Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter, and Willem de Kooning. Giesbers is drawn to works that balance chaos with serenity, citing additional influences from Mark Rothko's color field paintings and Dan Flavin's fluorescent light works. His "Minimal Complexity" series employs minimal movements and calming colors to induce a state of peace in viewers, while his "Shifts" series explores themes of transformation and the interrelationships between forces in the physical world.
Technique
Giesbers has developed a distinctive painting method that combines algorithmic precision with intuitive execution. His process involves applying seemingly textureless paint strokes separated by transparent layers, with each stroke playing a crucial role in the overall composition. Notable is his commitment to perfection - rather than making adjustments, he opts to erase and redo entire layers, sometimes repeating this process up to thirty times. For his 'Shifts' series, Giesbers incorporates phosphorescent paints to create luminescent fields of color that actively transform as lighting conditions change. These paintings take on a dual nature - appearing one way in normal lighting conditions, but revealing new dimensions and glowing elements when viewed in darkness. Rather than being passive objects for viewing, these works become active participants in their environment, literally shifting their appearance and creating a second viewing experience as day turns to night or as lighting conditions are altered. This technique allows Giesbers to make a statement about transformation and the interrelationship between forces and elements in the physical world, what he refers to as 'Transformative Abstraction.'
Exhibitions
Giesbers has established a growing presence in the contemporary art market, particularly in Asia where his work has been featured in prestigious art fairs and gallery exhibitions. His exhibition schedule includes presentations at established venues across Europe and Asia, with a particular focus on the Taiwanese art market. This international exhibition history demonstrates the increasing recognition of his innovative approach to abstract painting.
