Security Camera 52- Still Life Painting Of A CCTV Surveillance Camera Against Blue Sky

Security Camera 52
still life painting of two CCTV surveillance camera's against blue sky

G. Boersma
acrylic on panel
20 x 20 cm | 8 x 8 in
2026

SOLD

Number 52 in the series of cctv surveilance cameras. I consider surveillance cameras a symbol of our time. To me, they represent an increasingly totalitarian society and diminishing freedom and privacy.

All the best, Gerard

Luchtalarm- Painting Of An Air Raid Siren In Blue Sky

G. Boersma
acrylic on panel
30 x 30 cm | 12 x 12 in
2026

SOLD

In Luchtalarm, I depart from my signature, quiet museum interiors to present a minimalist modern still life. The composition is deceptively simple: a mechanical air raid siren cutting sharply into a brilliant, cloudless blue sky.

The primary symbolic tension in Luchtalarm lies in its forced duality. To me, the serene blue sky represents peace, freedom, and the calmness of everyday life, while the siren is a symbol of latent vulnerability—a reminder of how quickly peace can be shattered by geopolitical instability, climate catastrophes, or modern conflict.

The painting operates much like Schrödinger's cat; it is simultaneously calm and anxious. Because we cannot see sound, the siren might actually be blaring right now, trapping the viewer in that tense space of not knowing which one it is.

All the best, Gerard

This is number 9 in my new series of paintings of views through illuminated windows at night. It explores the tension between the private sphere and public observation, inviting viewers to imagine the hidden stories behind the lit windows.The window frame/grid is an exact copy of a painting by Mondrian, hence the subtitle Mondrian Window.

In this painting you see a contrail left behind by an airplane in the sky. Or perhaps it's one of those chemtrails people talk about. I leave that up to your imagination. I just tried to create a minimalist painting that is still very realistic.

In this painting you see two bags of Cheetos cheese chips. It comments on consumerism and nostalgia by elevating a low-cost, mass-produced junk food into a serious piece of art. That's my goal, at least.
