28.1.17Bullseye- Painting Of Muslim Girl On Escalator
Bullseye painting of muslim girl on escalator G. Boersma Thought of this painting from 2008 today. kind regards, Gerard
webshop and available works 
28.2.11The Prophet- Portrait of Dutch Right-Wing and Anti-Islam Politician Geert Wilders with Muslims The Prophet Portrait of Dutch right-wing and SOLD Here it is: the end of the mystery tour. If you put all the pieces of the puzzle together you get this portrait of Dutch right-wing and anti-islam politician Geert Wilders. With the elections coming up this wednesday I thought it would be a perfect time to show it.I jokingly entitled my painting The Prophet as a lot of people in the Netherlands see him that way. From a distance it shows Wilders smiling, up close it’s obvious that the painting is build up of numerous smaller portraits. Portraits of muslims that is. Over 750 are staring at viewer. A very precise work of art which took me over 3 months to create. The painting makes clear that Wilders and muslims are inextricable bound up with each other. The politician would have never gotten this far if it wasn’t for the muslims. Unwillingly they build up Wilders’ reputation. A thank you would be in order. Without his pride horse Wilders would be lost. Although he probably would find some other group to take its place, like Zionists, Indonesians, Frisians or perhaps East-Europeans, who knows. My work expresses the idea that no group should be excluded from society. I often say muslims are the new Jews. Meaning that they are now getting the blame for almost everything that goes wrong in Western society, we all know how that ended up for the Jews. Of course the comparison ends there. I would love to send my painting on a campaign through the country, but for now it can be only seen at my studio during working hours, in the evenings and weekends with appointment only. All larger detail pictures and the painting itself can be seen together here. I would love it if you could assist me in getting the painting out there, as I feel this is an important image a lot of people need to see. If you feel the same please feel free to share it, post it on your website or contact me for any additional things you might need. I'm looking forward hearing from you! kind regards, Gerard webshop
25.2.09Dirk - painting of muslim women wating for tram in Amsterdam
Today I got a larger sized painting for you. It's the larger sized version of Dirk which I completed a while ago. I really like the contrast between the muslim girls in an obviously western setting. One of the women is wearing a burka, quite easy to paint I might add. I always wonder how a woman with such strong religious beliefs would feel in a western society. I mean all she gets is strange looks wearing a burka, but she must be irritated that everybody else is walking around quite naked through her eyes. Anyway, she's holding a bag by a well known supermarket in the Netherlands called Dirk. It won't get more Dutch than that!

10.11.08Dirk
I'm back! I had a nice slow week after my open studio. Well slow isn't really the word for it, all I had was a break from my daily paintings. I worked on a larger scale painting all week. It's nearing completion and with a bit of luck I can show it to you this week. It's been a while since I last worked a whole week on just one painting, it felt really good, but after just a couple of days I started to miss my daily paintings and I'm more than happy to start again.
On todays painting you see a couple of muslim women waiting for the tram to show up at the Central Station in Amsterdam. One of the women is wearing a burka. She's also carrying a shopping bag which says Dirk. This is the name of a well-known chain of supermarkets in The Netherlands. It hardly gets more Dutch than that. I thought the contrast with the muslim women is quite interesting. While working on the larger scale painting last week I also had some time to re-think my weblog. I decided to go at it a little different than you're used to. Starting now my daily paintings will be auctioned on my blog. The auctions will only last for one day. If you see a painting of your interest you can easily place your bid by email. All bids are collected untill 8pm (local time Leeuwarden, The Netherlands) the following day. Please check out 'More information about the auction' for full details. Please note that spread payments in 2 terms are now possible too. If you have any questions or remarks please feel free to contact me anytime. I would be more than happy to answer them personally! kind regards, Gerard Boersma

28.10.08Bullseye
Last year I made a daily painting of a muslim girl taking an escalator. Ever since I wanted to do a larger scale painting of it, but never got to it. I finally did so and I'm very satisfied with the results. The scene was kind of tricky to paint with the unusual perspective and all. Very confusing at times and I had to make several corrections while painting, but I finally managed it. Bullseye will be shown for the first time during my open studio.

31.10.07The Bullseye
While visiting Amsterdam the otherday I saw this muslima girl going up with the escalator in the Magna Plaza Mall. Somehow her spotless red clothing and the architecture reminded me of a dartboard, hence the title.

The auction only lasts for 10 days and you can expect the painting within a week to 10 days after the auction ends. Bidding starts at only one dollar. You will receive the painting safely packaged and ready to frame or simply displayed on a small easel. I'm hoping you enjoy this painting and my other paintings as well! kind regards, Gerard Boersma
