The man on my painting is enjoying a painting by Piet Mondrian, the pioneering Dutch master whose iconic work represents a search for universal harmony and a spiritual cosmic order through pure geometric abstraction.

Mondrian’s reduction of form to essential vertical and horizontal lines represents a quest to uncover the ultimate, hidden reality of nature. In capturing a viewer standing before this strict abstraction, I reintroduce the human element into the composition, completing the narrative journey from pure idea back to living reality.

All the best, Gerard

Consisting of over 150 paintings, Motherwell's iconic series serves as a solemn, abstract lament for the human suffering of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939).

His monumental compositions are celebrated for their stark visual rhythm. These recurring elements act as powerful metaphors for the cycle of life and death, reminding us that even amidst deep tragedy, human resilience and vitality always prevail.

One quiet evening at home, I was unwinding in front of the television when I stumbled upon Lingo, a classic game show where two teams try to guess a word within 5 turns. This painting captures Team 1, featuring candidates Maarten and Wessel, as they attempt to solve a 5-letter word starting with the letter "P."

I felt inspired to freeze this fleeting moment of television broadcasting and preserve it through the slow, deliberate medium of painting. By transferring a fleeting TV reality into a permanent painted reality, a lighthearted game show transforms into a profound space for quiet observation.

The scene brought to mind the poignant words of social critic Neil Postman, who once warned that "a culture fully dedicated to entertainment becomes a trivial culture," and added that "the problem isn't that we're laughing instead of thinking, but that we don't know what we're laughing about and why we stopped thinking."

Through this lens, I view the painting as a quiet warning against the dangers of excessive entertainment, which risks reducing society to passivity and detachment. It serves as a reminder to cherish our shared moments of joy, while quietly inviting us to look a little deeper at the modern media that shapes our everyday lives.

All the best, Gerard

One quiet evening at home in 2006, I was settling down in front of the television when the clock struck eight and the Dutch nightly news broadcast began. This painting captures the prominent anchor, Noraly Beijer, as she delivers the day’s headline events to living rooms across the nation.

I watched the sleek studio set and the familiar presence of Noraly, completely fascinated by how seamlessly our world's most critical events are packaged and broadcast straight into our peaceful domestic spaces.

I felt inspired to freeze this fleeting moment of television broadcasting and preserve it through the slow, deliberate medium of painting. By transferring this image from the television into a permanent painted reality, a fast-paced media update transforms into a profound space for quiet observation.

For me 'The Show' serves as a heartfelt reminder to remain deeply conscious and connected to the world around us, while quietly inviting us to look a little deeper at modern media and entertainment programs that shape our everyday lives.

In this painting, I portray the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, pausing before a vibrant red double Pop Art portrait of Anne Frank. I was directly inspired to create this piece after hearing Rutte speak publicly about the realities of modern war.

With this painting, it is my sincere hope that we don't forget the raw horrors of war, with Anne Frank standing as one of its most enduring and poignant symbols.

Vliegtuigstreep 2 (Airplane Contrail 2) marks a profound minimalist pivot in my oeuvre.

Here, I confront the contemporary landscape at its most basic and pristine element: a brilliant azure sky sliced by the white geometry of airplane condensation trails. Or perhaps it is one of those chemtrails people talk about—I leave that entirely to your own imagination.

I just wanted to create a minimalist painting that is very much photorealistic too.

In my work, I love to capture the quiet moments of people in museums, entirely lost in the act of looking. This painting captures a viewer lost in Tom Wesselmann’s iconic Hot Lips, a Pop Art masterpiece where disembodied lips in fiery shades of red use the seductive allure of post-war consumer culture to critique the objectification of women in mass media.

This tribute serves as a warm embrace of art history, transforming Wesselmann's critique of modern advertising into a joyful moment of personal discovery and deep contemplation.
