But Wim Zorn takes things a step further. His paitings are partially concrete and formalistic, but they also manifest a lyrical component in their surfaces and paint application, by which he distances himself from analytical investigations into the fundamentals of art. To avoid entrapment i9n ultimate simplification, he seeks a subtle balance between sontaneity and reflection. In his vision, each paiting requires a measure of layering. In addition to his attention to the specific roles of format, surface, form, line, color, paint handling, texture and structure, his focus on the intuitive process is of vital importance. Wim Zorn claims all the freedom that an artist needs, but he is also convinced that the road to a complete painting requires artistic choices. He needs his intuition without loosing sight of sound constructions and compositions.
