28.10.26Security Camera 53- P{ainting Of A CCTV Surveillance Camera Against A Blue Sky Security Camera 53
G. Boersma Click here to view the auction Number 53 in the series of cctv surveillance 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 
25.10.26Self Portrait Frank Auerbach- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Self Portrait By Frank Auerbach Self Portrait Frank Auerbach
G. Boersma This 20 x 20 cm piece shows a man enjoying a self portrait by Frank Auerbach. His self portraits are a profound, raw exploration of identity, aging, and the physical passage of time through a rigorous 'poetics of destruction' and reconstruction. Auerbach builds his images through a fierce cycle of drawing, erasing, and redrawing. Rather than seeking a flattering likeness, identity is shown as dynamic and ever-evolving rather than static. By placing an observer in front of this intense, heavily textured image, my painting introduces a space of quiet stillness amidst Auerbach's frantic energy. The focused presence of the viewer suggests that we can always find a moment of inner clarity and enduring peace within the chaos. All the best, Gerard
24.10.26Scrolling- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Christopher Wool Inspired Painting Scrolling
G. Boersma The painting within my painting pays direct homage to Christopher Wool’s iconic text style, mimicking his signature typography and monochrome aesthetic. Wool used out-of-context phrases to disrupt how we read and look at art. Here, I use that same lettering to spotlight a distinct modern obsession: endlessly scrolling on the internet. All the best, Gerard
23.10.26Space Invaders- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Invader Space Invaders
G. Boersma SOLD The artwork within my painting pays homage to the 1978 arcade game Space Invaders, where players control a laser cannon to destroy waves of descending alien creatures. Street artist Invader’s goal was to 'free' these pixelated aliens from the digital confines of computer screens and place them into the physical, three-dimensional world. But now they're caught inside a museum. All the best, Gerard
20.10.26Red On Red- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Mark Rothko Red On Red
G. Boersma In my work, I love to capture the quiet moments of people in museums, entirely lost in the act of looking. This painting captures a viewer lost in Mark Rothko's Red On Red. Rothko painted on massive vertical canvases, these works were meant to engulf the viewer. Rothko preferred dim lighting and close viewing distances so the color fields would completely dominate the spectator's field of vision and trigger a transcendent, almost religious experience. All the best, Gerard
17.10.26Woman Sitting Near A Window- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Picasso Woman Sitting Near A Window
G. Boersma Pablo Picasso’s 1932 painting 'Femme Assise Près d’Une Fenêtre' depicts his young mistress and muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter. Picasso painted it during what art historians call his annus mirabilis or year of wonders. Marie-Thérèse inspired a flood of bright, curvilinear, and euphoric masterpieces. Unlike earlier, more passive reclining nudes, Marie-Thérèse is portrayed upright, clothed, and statuesque. Her calm, commanding presence and luminous, marble-like head transform her into a modern-day goddess or idol ruling over the artist. The window acts as a threshold between the private, intimate world of their secret love affair and the outside reality. It frames her as both an object of devotion and a figure in complete control of the space. All the best, Gerard
16.10.26Bird- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Bart Van Der Leck Bird
G. Boersma SOLD Within this work of art by Van der Leck, a bird is broken down into horizontal, vertical, and diagonal black lines, accompanied by floating planes of color. This represents a quest for the universal essence of the visible world—the ultimate reality, so to speak. By capturing a viewer observing this abstraction, I bring the visible world back into the composition, bringing the artistic cycle full circle. All the best, Gerard
13.10.26Crosstown- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Franz Kline Crosstown
G. Boersma The woman in this painting is enjoying a painting by Franz Kline from 1955. Crosstown derives its meaning not from depicting a literal street map, but from capturing the raw visual architecture, dynamic movement, and kinetic energy of an urban environment. Kline famously stated that he did not paint specific physical objects or scenes, but rather the internal feelings and sensory reactions aroused in him by living and looking out at the city. By placing a viewer in front of his work I'm basically doing the same thing in return. All the best, Gerard
12.10.26Five Color Frame- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Robert Mangold Five Color Frame
G. Boersma The man in my painting is enjoying a painting by Robert Mangold from 1985. His Five Color Frame explores the tension between the canvas as a flat fragment and its active relationship with the empty wall behind it, questioning how separate parts "fit or don't really fit together". By introducing a human element into this minimalist piece, I wanted to bridge the artwork's rigid, hard-edged boundaries and that of the living world. All the best, Gerard
10.10.26De Storm (The Tempest)- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Bart Van Der Leck De Storm (The Tempest)
G. Boersma SOLD The man in my painting is enjoying a painting by Bart van der Leck. His 1916 painting De Storm (The Tempest or The Storm), uses radical abstraction, elementary shapes, and primary colors to capture the essence and raw, stirred emotion of a gale-force coastal storm rather than a detailed realistic scene. All the best, Gerard
