Transformation through Participation: The Transcendent Dimensions of Iven Orx & Aaron Vinn’s METHEXIS Paintings

The abstract compositions of the METHEXIS art series invite viewers to participate in art and transform ideas and forms. Serving as a medium, they enable an active engagement of the observers. Through conscious deconstruction of balance concerning elements, relationships, and dynamics, these artworks challenge the viewers to discover their own connection and harmony within the everyday environment. They open up new approaches and encourage initiating a dialogue with oneself and exploration.

Orx and Vinn are artists who deeply engage with the concept of participation and the relationship between things and people. Their aim is to actively involve the audience and explore the connection between things and people. With their works, viewers broaden their perspectives and embark on an exciting journey of self-discovery and visual conception. These works encourage the use of imagination and the creation of a personal connection with the depicted ideas and forms.

Similarly, the contemporary artist Gerhard Richter approaches his work. He has created a wide range of works, including abstract paintings that subtly combine elements of chance and control. Richter’s abstract paintings enable viewers to actively participate and find their own meaning and harmony in the artworks. Through the deconstruction of balance and deliberate arrangement of colors, shapes, and structures, he creates a rich and layered experience that challenges the viewers’ perception and interpretation. His works invite exploration of new approaches and initiating a dialogue with oneself. Another example is the German artist Katharina Grosse, known for her large-format abstract paintings and installations. She uses vibrant colors and generous brushstrokes to create dynamic and energetic compositions. By involving the viewers in her works, she allows them to immerse themselves in the vibrant and layered compositions. By applying paint to various surfaces, she generates depth and texture, encouraging viewers to establish a personal connection with the abstract paintings and contribute their own thoughts and emotions.

Orx and Vinn demonstrate a profound understanding of the importance of participation and the relationship between things, ideas, and the audience in their creative practice. Through their works, they open up new possibilities for viewers to develop their own visual conception and explore a dialogue with themselves. They invite expanding perception and actively participating in the journey into the world of art and philosophical reflection.

The abstract compositions of METHEXIS offer a transcendent experience. They transform and open up new perspectives, establishing a connection between viewers and the world around them. By encouraging the development of one’s own visual conception and engaging in a dialogue with oneself, these works provide the opportunity to understand oneself as part of a greater whole and establish a deeper connection with art and one’s own existence.
