The works of Iven Orx and Aaron Vinn embody transcendence in various ways. In their works, the artists utilize classical painting techniques, employ media with reflective surfaces, and dare to mix different materials to create immersive art. A unifying element across different creative periods is the effect of light. It is intended to direct the attention of viewers towards transcendent levels that lie beyond ordinary sensory perception.

Harald Szeemann, a renowned curator, talks about perception in art, where the process of perception doesn’t solely target communicative content but also conveys strong emotional content on an unconscious level. The various expressions of light in the works of Iven Orx and Aaron Vinn create such a strong emotional impact that transports the viewer into a state of transcendent experience, where the senses no longer need to dominate.

“Thirty spokes meet at the hub – The void in the center makes the wheel. Clay is shaped into a vessel – The void within it gives it value. Doors and windows are cut out to make a room – The void within it gives it usefulness. The visible forms of a work of art – Give it a shape, while the unseen gives it value.”

With the quoted statement, Laozi emphasizes the importance of emptiness. It is not just the visible that defines the value of an artwork but also the invisible, that which exists between the visible elements. This emptiness or absence of concrete forms and contents opens up space for transcendence, for a deeper perception and experience of the artwork.

Iven Orx and Aaron Vinn are artists who strive for innovation and progress. They view their work as an essential correction and an energy condensate of the present. With their introspective works, they aim to renew the concept of quality in art and create a space of mystery that leads the viewer into a transcendent world. Their works are meant to be unveiled today and continue to reveal new meanings and interpretations in the future.
