Gerard Boersma’s Summary
Likewise the famous Dutch painter and my relative Jopie Huisman I’m well known in my native country for my highly detailed works of art. My hyperrealist paintings are about everyday situations people encounter in modern city landscapes.
I registrate common people on the streets, in public transport, in stores, waiting rooms, museums or just show the surroundings people are living in. I take pictures of these situations, which I later use as a starting point for my realistic paintings.
The paintings tempt to stand still at things usually don't observed. The loneliness of some people, the lack of communication between people, how people retire within oneself while waiting or just the surroundings we encounter everyday. A moment in modern urban living with all the distortion that comes with it. And then it's obvious that the situations usually don't observed say a whole lot about todays society.
I've studied painting and fine art at the School of Arts Minerva in the Netherlands, specializing in meticulous form drawing and realistic painting. I've been painting professionally fulltime since my graduation in 2001 and exhibited all over my native country and abroad. Paintings were shown in places such as New York, Amsterdam and Florence. Not only have collectors from major cities in the USA like San Francisco, LA, New York, Chigagp and Washington DC added my works to their collections, but also collectors from European cities like Amsterdam, Naples and Munich did the same. The Fries Museum also included one of my works to their permanent collection.
