I made this painting especially for my show with my great-uncle Jopie Huisman. On the painting you see two women looking at a painting of a wheelbarrow by Jopie in his own museum.
For me Jopie also has been somewhat of a wheelbarrow. He's one of my favourite painters and indirectly inspired me to paint in the first place.
But I kind of like the fact that the women on my painting are somewhat blocking the wheelbarrow. Yes, having a famous artist in the family sure didn't hurt me, but still I all had to do it myself too.
At times I wish Jopie could have seen my works, but unfortunately he died before I picked up painting professionally. But I'm extremely proud that our works can now be seen together at Museum De Andere Kant!
kind regards, Gerard
