His site-specific interventions reflect the architectural structure and its distribution of the incoming daylight. The interventions alter these aspects. These sculptural works originate in bodily experience. Here a paradox is at work. Central to these disruptive structures is the search for stillness. The sculptures create new pathways for the daylight and its infinitesimal reflections: the sacral quality of light. The search for stillness is also a returning feature in Kruysen\u2019s separate, small-scale sculptures. There is a personal element to this quest. Kruysen speaks about his strong connection to the modernist movement of the first half of the 20th century. Especially Schwitters\u2019s \u2018anti-art\u2019 on the one hand, as well as Le Corbusier\u2019s and Boccioni\u2019s belief in progress and optimism about the future, have his continued interest. Through the radicality of its ideas, the modernist movement brought about positive change. However, its dark and authoritarian aspect has also had disastrous effects on society and the natural environment \u2013 as we see today. This rise and fall of modernism echoes in Kruysen\u2019s work. His search for balance is, at the core, a negotiation between constructive and destructive forces. In his art this results in moments of clarity and stillness: ephemeral allure.&lt;br \/&gt;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;img src=&#8221;http:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled-4.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;&#8221; class=&#8221;alignnone size-full wp-image-8175&#8243; width=&#8221;853&#8243; height=&#8221;1280&#8243; data-mce-src=&#8221;http:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled-4.jpg&#8221; \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;img class=&#8221;alignnone size-full wp-image-8176&#8243; src=&#8221;..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled-5.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;&#8221; width=&#8221;853&#8243; height=&#8221;1280&#8243; data-mce-src=&#8221;..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled-5.jpg&#8221; \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;img src=&#8221;http:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ZT-Galerie.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;&#8221; class=&#8221;alignnone size-full wp-image-8041&#8243; width=&#8221;1280&#8243; height=&#8221;960&#8243; data-mce-src=&#8221;http:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ZT-Galerie.jpg&#8221; \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;img src=&#8221;http:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANDRE.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;&#8221; class=&#8221;alignnone size-full wp-image-8177&#8243; width=&#8221;960&#8243; height=&#8221;1280&#8243; data-mce-src=&#8221;http:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANDRE.jpg&#8221; \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;img class=&#8221;alignnone size-full wp-image-8182&#8243; src=&#8221;..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANDRE_MEMBRANE_2.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;&#8221; width=&#8221;960&#8243; height=&#8221;1280&#8243; data-mce-src=&#8221;..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANDRE_MEMBRANE_2.jpg&#8221; \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8180"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8180"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8229,"href":"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8180\/revisions\/8229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
