This work of 30 x 30 cm shows a man engaging with Barnett Newman’s seminal 1966 canvas Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue 1. By letting the expressive power of a colossal red field confront and envelop the spectator, Newman's painting acts as a vehicle for a profound emotional and spiritual experience.

For me, that title takes on a deeper meaning today; it feels incredibly relevant because I see a lot of people being afraid of something nowadays. Symbolically, the man in my painting is confronting his own fears by standing right in front of that overwhelming red space. He is embracing the tiger.

All the best, Gerard

SOLD

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 Tom Wesselmann’s iconic Hot Lips, a Pop Art masterpiece where disembodied lips in fiery shades of red use the seductive allure of post-war consumer culture to critique the objectification of women in mass media.

SOLD

This work of 30 x 30 cm shows a man enjoying a painting by Ellsworth Kelly. The title translates to "Mediterranean".

Like many of his transitional works from his time in France, it reflects Kelly's deep fascination with light, horizons, and reflections on aquatic environments rather than a direct landscape illustration.

Gameshow- Painting Of Two Men Playing Lingo On Dutch Television

One quiet evening at home, I was unwinding in front of the television when I stumbled upon Lingo, a classic game show where two teams try to guess a word within 5 turns. This painting captures Team 1, featuring candidates Maarten and Wessel, as they attempt to solve a 5-letter word starting with the letter "P."

I felt inspired to freeze this fleeting moment of television broadcasting and preserve it through the slow, deliberate medium of painting. By transferring a fleeting TV reality into a permanent painted reality, a lighthearted game show transforms into a profound space for quiet observation.

The scene brought to mind the poignant words of social critic Neil Postman, who once warned that "a culture fully dedicated to entertainment becomes a trivial culture," and added that "the problem isn't that we're laughing instead of thinking, but that we don't know what we're laughing about and why we stopped thinking."

Through this lens, I view the painting as a quiet warning against the dangers of excessive entertainment, which risks reducing society to passivity and detachment. It serves as a reminder to cherish our shared moments of joy, while quietly inviting us to look a little deeper at the modern media that shapes our everyday lives.

All the best, Gerard

Joan Miró's Spanish Dancer uses simple lines, shapes, and textures to capture the rhythm and energy of flamenco. Instead of a realistic painting. Miró broke the dancer down into basic symbols. This let him show the feeling of the dance rather than just what it looked like.

acrylic on panel

2026

SOLD

The man on my painting is enjoying a painting by Fernand Léger. His Divers (or Les Plongeurs) is a celebrated series of paintings and drawings initiated in the 1940s that depicts entangled human bodies in mid-motion.

The initial inspiration came to Léger in 1940 when watching divers in Marseille and, later, a crowded swimming pool in the United States.

The chaotic, tangled mass of limbs was his way of capturing the aggressive speed, motion, and overwhelming sensory experience of modern life.

Luc Tuymans’ interiors are spaces of psychological unease and historical trauma. Rather than comforting domestic settings, he paints seemingly mundane rooms with pale, ghostly hues to expose underlying societal dangers. My figure doesn't seem to be too daunted by it.

SOLD

This work shows a man enjoying a painting by Bart van der Leck. De Storm (The Tempest) marks Van der Leck's transition into radical abstraction and the foundation of the De Stijl movement.

The painting captures a traditional Dutch theme—fisherwomen gazing out at a turbulent sea—distilled into highly simplified forms and flat planes of color.

Banksy’s Girl with Balloon (2002) is about the tension between hope and loss.

The image of a young child reaching for a drifting, heart-shaped balloon captures the fleeting nature of childhood innocence, while the overarching message challenges us to hold onto optimism even when our dreams drift away.

SOLD

This 40 x 21 cm work depicts a man enjoying a painting by Clyfford Still.

Clyfford Still (1904–1980) was a pioneering American Abstract Expressionist known for massive, non-figurative canvases dominated by jagged, vertical slashes of color.

His work embodies the spiritual struggle of humanity, the forces of nature, and absolute individual freedom, operating as a profound, transcendental experience rather than a literal depiction of reality.

Andy Warhol’s famous portraits of Marilyn Monroe explore the themes of celebrity culture, mass consumerism, and the tragedy of fame.

By endlessly repeating her image, Warhol transformed Monroe from a complex, real human being into a manufactured, mass-produced product—much like a can of soup.

Wayne Thiebaud's series of sorbets and ice creams symbolize mid-century American optimism. They also evoke a sense of fleeting beauty—the vivid colors and joy of the present are short-lived before they melt or disappear entirely.
