Gradient Orange to Navy Blue

Michael DeSutters collages are playful, precise studies in color, form, and the quiet power of whats left unsaid. Working with hand-cut shapes, DeSutter builds compositions that feel both spontaneous and intentionalbalancing vibrant fields of color against expanses of negative space. Its in these open areas that the work breathes, inviting the viewer to consider how absence shapes presence. Each collage becomes a conversation between solid and void, edge and interruption, where even the quietest moments hold compositional weight. In DeSutters hands, abstraction becomes an active practice in restraint, rhythm, and visual clarity.
