Las Vegas Casino- Painting Of Woman Hitting The Slot Machines In Las Vegas

Las Vegas Casino
painting of a woman hitting the slot machines in Las Vegas

G. Boersma
acrylic on masonite
±22 1/2" x 19 1/2" or 57 x 49,3 cm
2025

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

SOLD

I always shied away somewhat from taking on a Frida Kahlo, but when a great collector from Miami asked me to do this commission I'm glad I did. Pretty satisfied with the results and the collector loves it!

If you'd like for me to do a commissioned piece, I'd be happy to hear from you!

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.

All the best, Gerard

Bleu- Painting Of Woman Enjoying Painting By Joan Miró

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.

All the best, Gerard

Black Square- Painting Of Woman Enjoying Painting By Kazimir Malevich

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

SOLD

American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein shook up the art world with his comic-strip inspired paintings and his bold reproductions of cartoon characters in the sixties. He took images from popular culture, and reproduced them in his art to create new contexts and meanings, becoming one of the most famous pop artists of all time.

Wat Weten We Eigenlijk- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Roger Raveel

Wat Weten We Eigenlijk (What Do We Actually Know)
painting of a man enjoying a painting by Roger Raveel

G. Boersma
acrylic on masonite
±8" x 8" or 20 x 20 cm
2025

SOLD

In his paintings Roger Raveel shows us what perception is. That is his theme and partly explains why Raveel's subjects are often so simple: everyday things, without history, without anecdote.

Through the inclusion of reality in his work, Raveel investigates the relativity of the experience of reality. In 'What Do We Actually Understand' we see the simple outline of a seated man.

This man is Roger Raveel himself as a spectator of the reality of his painted world. I complicated things by adding another painted reality.

All the best, Gerard
