Ger Bruens, a painter from the Netherlands, is inspired by the art of Japanese Enso painting, which is circular calligraphic art associated with Zen Buddhism. As a minimalist, Bruens searches for maximum emotive expression using minimal expressive means. He feels that although simplicity may appear uncomplicated, it is, in fact, quite complex. Working with acrylics on linen, he also expresses his fascination with the concept of fortuity within his compositions.
