French painter Nicolas De Staël was interested in the suggestion of volume, space, and distinct forms in the barest possible terms without ever giving in to a wholly figurative process. Les Footballeurs is a prime example. If you look closely you will recognize the shapes of people playing soccer.

The opening of my show in Amsterdam last saturday wasn't a big succes. It was very quiet and if you're wondering why take a look at todays painting. Yes you're right, soccer is to blame! The Europian Championship is going on and Holland had to play against Russia on the same day as the opening. Amsterdam is a crowded city anyway, but things were really crazy saturday. Everybody dressed up in orange, drank beer and forgot all about my show. Oh well, that just happens sometimes. Hate to say Holland lost the game 1-3, but I got a nice motif for todays painting.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
