Yves Zurstrassen’s inner odyssey

Yves Zurstrassen’s Inner Odyssey

A visual artist of movement, he collages, enlarges, subtracts, and paints to the rhythm of jazz notes on his fragmented, colorful canvases, which chronicle his inner journeys. Self-taught, Yves Zurstrassen is one of the heirs to gestural abstract painting, a movement born in the United States. He welcomes us to Brussels in his sanctuary, a vast studio bathed in light yet hidden from view.
