Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in 1907. This painting can be considered as the first and most famous example of cubism painting.

In this painting, Picasso abandoned all known form and representation of traditional art. He used distortion of female's body and geometric forms in an innovative way, which challenge the expectation that paintings will offer idealized representations of female beauty. I of course sort of reverse that.

All the best, Gerard

On my painting you see a man waiting for his order at kabobery Massis Kabob in Los Angeles. As a painter I'm interested in these small moments we usually don't think much about. To me they say a whole lot about todays society and the way we interact.

All the best, Gerard

A movie theater is a place where you can escape for a few hours into a different world. The usherette in Hopper's painting probably has seen the movie a thousand times and just waits for its ending. In the meantime she leans against the wall reflecting her own thoughts. But while doing so she also invites the viewer to reflect on theirs. I invite you to do the same.

All the best, Gerard

The man on my painting is enjoying Vermeer's most famous painting Girl with a Pearl Earring. It is not a portrait, but a ‘tronie’, a painting of an imaginary figure. Tronies depict a certain type or character; in this case a girl in exotic dress, wearing an oriental turban and an improbably large pearl in her ear.

Johannes Vermeer was the master of light. This is shown here in the softness of the girl’s face and the glimmers of light on her moist lips. And of course, the shining pearl.

All the best, Gerard
