Sometimes I experiment a little. This is a painting of a wall where a cross used to hang. The wall has yellowed a bit and the nail is still there.

It's a bit of oddment within my oeuvre, but I sure love the symbolism in this piece.

SOLD

Stare at the four black dots in the center of the image the woman is looking at for 30-60 seconds. Then look at something bright (like a wall) and start blinking. You should see something special.

All the best, Gerard

Last Supper- Painting Of Woman Enjoying Painting By Andy Warhol

2018

SOLD

Andy Warhol's final series of paintings, The Last Supper, was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s world-famous masterpiece of the same title.

The seeming irreverence for the distinctions between the sacred and the profane, high art and commercial design reflects Warhol’s inevitable transformation of a deeply religious work into a cliché whose profound message has become muted through repetition.

Eerily prescient, The Last Supper was to be the last project of Warhol’s life. His sudden and unexpected death, just one month after the exhibition opened in Milan.

Crucifixion- Painting Of Woman Enjoying Painting By Francisco Zurbaran

G. Boersma
acrylic on masonite
8" x 8" or 20 x 20 cm
2018

SOLD

The figure on my painting is looking at a painting of Jesus Christ by Francisco Zurbaran who painted it in 1627. Conforming to Counter-Reformation dictates, Zurbaran depicted the event occurring not in a crowd but in isolation. Emerging from a dark background, the austere figure has been both idealized in its quiet, graceful beauty and elegant rendering and humanized by the individualized face.
