The Night Watch is one of the most famous paintings by Rembrandt and formally known as Militia Company of District II Under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq. The painting’s simpler, widely known title was erroneously given to it due to its thick, dark yellow varnish, the painting does not depict a nocturnal scene.

Commissioned in 1640 and painted in 1642, at the height of Rembrandt’s career, this colossal painting is a commissioned group portrait of a militia company, the civic guard, charged with preventing attacks on Amsterdam.

Such portraits traditionally depicted their members in neat rows or at a banquet. Rembrandt’s version, however, makes the prosaic subject into a dynamic work of art; with its masterful chiaroscuro and dramatic action, the conventions of traditional portraiture are overturned.

All the best, Gerard

I have visited Las Vegas a few times and I love painting people hitting the slot machines. The lights, signs and tons of small details are a challenge to paint and something that totally absorbs me.

While painting I realized that's it's not just the bright colors and details that attracts me. I like how people are wrestling with the machines, like a man versus machine kinda thing. But as we all know the casino always wins.

All the best, Gerard

The painting my figure is enjoying is a prime example by Morris Louis' Color Field painting.

This is a style of abstract painting characterized primarily by large fields of flat, solid color spread across or stained into the canvas creating areas of unbroken surface and a flat picture plane.

The movement places less emphasis on gesture, brushstrokes and action in favor of an overall consistency of form and process. In color field painting color is freed from objective context and becomes the subject in itself.

Many of Catalan Spanish artist Joan Miró works show the same spacious, blue field. Miró held a special significance with this colour.

To him this blue was a symbol of a world of cosmic dreams, an unconscious state where his mind flowed clearly and without any sort of order.

This blue was the colour of a surreal, ethereal night. A night that embodied the only place where dreams could exist in their rawest state, untouched and uncensored by conscious, rational thought.

The Black Square by Kazimir Malevich is often thought to be the first painting that wasn't of something. The Black Square is not just the first painting in a new movement. It’s a totally different kind of art object to what had been seen before.

Malevich set out to change forever the idea that painting has to represent reality. I brought it back to reality by adding a woman enjoying his revolutionary painting.

All the best, Gerard

On my painting you see a man hitting the slot machines in Las Vegas. As a painter I'm interested in these small moments we usually don't think much about. To me they say a whole lot about todays society and the way we interact.
