About the artist:
Born in Holland, Dutch artist Frans Horbach first visited New York when he was 17 years old, traveling on a cargo ship from Rotterdam, just as his fellow country man Willem de Kooning had done years before. Two years later he left Holland and emigrated to California.
During the years that he lived and worked as a professional artist in America, one of the main sources of artistic influence came from artists belonging to what is now known as the New York school of American lyrical abstract expressionist art - Rothko, Pollock, De Kooning... He was attracted by their ideas, style of work, and more importantly, by their vital energy and uninhibited self-confidence.
Horbach's work also was influenced, more subtely perhaps, by his contact with indigeneous Indian people during his journeys in the American South-West and Mexico. These encounters were a rich source of inspiration - they became integral to a philosophical framework which involved the appreciation of physical space in a poetic and artistic sense. In later years, as the result of his long-time interest in oriental art and philosophy, some of his work show a distinct affinity with the aesthetic sensibilities of traditional Japanse art.
Though his more recent paintings, when compared with his earlier work, may at first appear simple geometric constructions, there is a delicate complexity involved in their making, a subtle balance of tension, contrast and dimensional harmony. Subtle shifts in colour and perspective occur depending on how you look and interpret - they may also serve to show the correspondence with the inherent complexity of the act of seeing. For the juxtaposition of layered surfaces and structures, combined with an informal application of paint, reflect the instability and movement of our perceptual processes involved. They act as tools to assist us in our negotiation and recognition of perceiving time and space, and the way of looking at art.
