Mutation and Transformation - Ron Weijers - 2018 - Weijers, is one of a generation of artists, tackling a large variety of subjects and addressing the significant shifts in paradigms of existence that the collide of culture, nature and technology brings forward. Centered around three modes of alteration: Mutation, Transformation and Metamorphosis. His work researches into questions like how movements towards hybridization can free us from the tyranny of anthropocentricism and assist in the development of a brighter future. Weijers explores the ideas of transformation and contradiction. The process of making the work is fundamental to developing a visual language through which he can communicate the feeling of experience to the viewer. His works define and redefine the meanings of process and transformation. Bringing elements of chaos and dissonance into a state of harmony, each work matures into a fully realized presence. The Mutation and Transformation publication is a spin-off as a result of the close collaboration between Ron Weijers and Carl Heyward - founder of the Global Art Project - with a focus on the aspects and effects of international artistic collaboration and networking
