AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This atmospheric suggestive work from 2026 is not framed but is equipped with a hanging system. This piece is inspired by a still from the film 'The Trouble with Harry' by Alfred Hitchcock. The depicted frame indicates when it is framed. The work is shipped via registered mail and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. More information about the artist can be found on his website: www.heersema.com. Bert Heersema lives and works in Zwolle, Netherlands.
By staying away from the actual reality around us, I try to evoke a nostalgic atmosphere. Atmosphere and space, which are not defined by various realistic details but rather by simplicity, often a sober color palette, where a specific color accent draws all attention. Recurring visual features, such as shadows, volumes, accent colors, strong contrast, nostalgia, and humor, are important recognizable aspects in my work, increasingly playing a role in evoking emotions. Through technique, there is a search—various techniques are explored to test the boundaries of recognizability (realism), with movie stills from old films (Film Noir) and vintage documentary material serving as significant sources of inspiration and a starting point for initial designs. And without losing recognizability and realism, the work must primarily be a beautifully painted piece, for the viewer's experience and distance.

Seller's Story

About the artist: By staying away from the real reality around us I try to evoke a nostalgic atmosphere. Atmosphere and space, which are not determined by all kinds of realistic details, but by simplicity, an often sober color palette, so that a certain color accent gets all the attention. Recurring image characteristics, such as shadows, volumes, accent color, strong contrast, nostalgia and humor are important recognizable aspects in my work in which emotions play an increasingly important role. Through technique there is a quest, different versions in technique, to explore the boundaries of recognizability (realism) in which old films and old documentary material are an important source of inspiration and basis for a starting design. And without losing recognisability and realism, the work must above all be a beautifully painted work, for the perception of the spectator and viewer distance. An extensive overview of reviews (accolades) and exhibitions can be found on my website, including a special collaboration with Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke. Bert Heersema (1965) lives and works in Zwolle, the Netherlands.
