New & Noteworthy Artist

Brouwers uses the fluid shape of the circle to challenge man-made order.

Inspired by Sol Lewitt's rule-based approach, Brouwers constructs her meticulously measured grids from one almost hidden treasure-like cross.

Undeterred by the apparent rigidity of these grid-like structures, her artworks never settle into complete stillness.

Inspired by design principles, Sabrina’s abstract study of our physical surroundings results in non objective compositions. Throughout her practice, Sabrina uses elementary geometric and architectural forms and materials reminiscent of our urban landscape to explore the psychological effects of visual simplicity.

Sabrina Brouwers's Process

The abstract paintings are centralised around a mathematically plotted grid system in the base of each motif - representing the unnaturally ordered character of the urban landscape. Exploring the relationship between human and space, anima is invited into the aesthetically stark works, where Sabrina aims to challenge the sense of order within her compositions.

The tension between human experience and space is investigated through the use of juxtaposing materials and colours suggestive of industrial architecture, labour and flesh. The configurations are determined through a balance of intuition and strategy. By challenging the rigid grid system through a complex layered process, a dialogue between emergence and disappearance is triggered.

Sabrina Brouwers's Career Trajectory

Since graduating from Falmouth University with a Fine Art Degree, Sabrina has developed her style of geometric abstract painting, studying a postgraduate diploma in graphic design at the University of Art in London. Sabrina now works as both an artist and a graphic designer, and the influence of these two differing disciplines is clear to see throughout her paintings.
