I consider the CCTV surveillance camera's as a symbol of our times. To me they represent a more and more totalitarian society and the declining freedom and privacy.

All the best, Gerard

With my still life paintings I always like to pick subjects that are modern and not widely considered to be subjects at all.

A couple of bags of Lays potato chips in a supermarket rack is just perfect as I feel these works say a lot about todays' society and the way we live.

I also love the colors and how the light dances around the composition.

All the best, Gerard

I'm fascinated by cctv surveillance camera's as I view them as a symbol of our times. To me they represent the decline of privacy and I'm saddened to say also the decline of democracy.

I know paintings like these aren't everybody's cup of tea. But to me there are paintings I love to paint, but there are also paintings I have to paint. The surveillance camera's are amongst the latter.

If you're interested in purchasing this painting just click on the link above or send me an email to info@gerardboersma.nl stating the title for more information and price.

This still life painting shows a bookshelf filled with books on art, most notably of course the Modern Art book with Marilyn Monroe's portrait by Andy Warhol on it. In the lower left corner I put in a magic square. It's called magic because if you count the numbers in all directions you end up time and again with the same number.

Well this was bound to happen someday. Instead of someone admiring a painting in a museum, I was curious what would happen if I just showed the painting by itself. So now I made a copy of a painting without it being a forgery. The painting turned into a still life. There's also a certain tension going on, like someone can walk into the scene at any moment.

My first larger scaled still life painting of this year shows a bookshelf filled with books on art, most notably of course the book with Picasso's portrait on it. It's a variation of my art within art theme.

The painting invites you to fantasize about the content of the books, but to me personally I love the fact that different mediums are at play all at once. There's books of course, but also photography and portraiture. Then again none of them are real as they're all painted. As Picasso would have liked it I guess.
