ABOUT GERARD

Gerard Schriemer’s (Utrecht, 1954) paintings demand your attention for multiple reasons. The fine technique, the subjects, and the way these subjects play a role in the painting are just a few of those.
 
A fine painter, Gerard Schriemer chooses to depict his subjects in a narrative way. His paintings are meticulously built up layer by layer in remarkably vivid colors.
 

The models in the paintings are portrayed by Gerard Schremer in captivating and disorienting compositions, where he does not shy away from unusual perspectives or playing with proportions. The figures challenge and invite the viewer, as if to step into a world that teeters on the edge of fantasy and reality.

Schriemer is a creator of mysterious spectacles, skillfully combining photographic realism with an intriguing narrative power.
