LA Art Show

From Rembrandt to Ruscha and beyond. I'm proud to announce that for the third time in a row my work can be seen at the booth of Amstel Gallery at the LA Art Show in Los Angeles. The centerpiece of the citywide Los Angeles Arts Month, returns to LA's renowned Convention Center from january 19-23.

The 16th annual LA Art Show showcases over 100 prominent galleries from around the globe showing a dazzling array of art from old masters to cutting edge contemporary artists. It will kick off with an Opening Night Premiere Party on Wednesday January 19 with attendees like museum patrons, political dignitaries, collectors and celebrities.

I will show some of my latest larger sized hyperrealism paintings. More information about the LA Art Show can be found here.

kind regards, Gerard

Swing - man looking at Robert Longo in Rubell Family Collection

First painting of 2010! It looks like the figures on the triptych by Robert Longo are dancing. They're really not according to the title Longo gave this piece: Man Trapped in Ice.

My figure just sits there looking, doing nothing but enjoying soom good art. He looks immobile, but the true immobile figures can be found on Longo's piece. I find this contrast quite intereseting. It shows that there's more than meets the eye and you cannot really trust your first impressions.

By placing the bench offcentred I tried to emphasize the dancing and swinging element of Longo's figure into the total composition.

Together with Conqueror and Nuts from my series about the Rubell Family Collection Swing can be seen at the LA Art Show in Los Angeles from 20-24 january. The grand gala opening is tonight!

kind regards, Gerard

Me in my studio
On this picture you see me in my studio working on Conqueror. As you notice I'm working flat on a table, with multiple brushes at the same time. The green palette I use is actually a plastic lit of an old bucket of latex paint. I have that one since I first started out, I cannot imagine making a painting without it! In the back you see my paintings The Corner and Lunch Break, the smaller ones in the back are Elevator and Pizza. The brown and white wooden panels are panels waiting to be painted, I always have a couple of them in stock.

Back from Los Angeles

I'm back from Los Angeles! My paintings were represented there by Amstel Gallery during the prestiguous LA Art Show.

The LA Art Show was held from january 21 through january 25 for the 14th time. Never before a gallery from the Netherlands was invited to participate. The LA Art Show is an art fair where the absolute top from the artworld gathers. Over 135 galleries from around the world presented work by old masters like Rembrandt, Monet, Picasso, Renoir and Goya, but modern artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Jasper Johns and many others were well represented as well.

The fair officially opened with gala which was attended by many Hollywood-stars. Actors from tv-series like E.R. and Oz where there, but moviestars like Geena Davis and Kevin Bacon visited the fair as well. Other moviestars send their representatives to make a selection for them. Curators from major museums also made their appearances. Exact visitor numbers aren't available yet, but the first estimations ran well over 30.000.

In L.A. I had about 26 feet at my disposal to hang 20 of my artworks at the booth of Amstel Gallery. Visitors ranked our booth as one of the best of the fair. Visitors were impressed by my modern subject manner and my highly detailed and realistic form of painting. Besides my own paintings Amstel Gallery also showed photographs by Patricia Steur and works by Belgium artist Ronald Cueppens.

The many impressions I made in Los Angeles will reflect in a new series of paintings. I returned back home not only with a major jetlag and a dislike of cold weather, but also with a lot of pictures for reverance for future paintings. This march Amstel Gallery will show these works alongside older ones. In march my work can also be seen in the United States again. Amstel Gallery will represent me from march 5 - 8 at the Bridge Art Fair in New York during the Armory Art Week. This fair will be held at a stone's throw away from the Armory Show at the same time. For now I'm trying to shake of my jetlag and adjust myself to the extreme cold temperatures here! I will be picking up my brush soon!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
