Description from the seller
In this work I have captured the timeless tension and elegance of a classic moment in a nice loose brushstroke, in the familiar Film Noir atmosphere. The realism draws you into the intense contrast, full of unspoken emotions. I wanted this painting to evoke a nostalgic mood and at the same time give you space, with the drama and refinement of a bygone era, for your own interpretation of the scene. This work is not framed, but the depicted frame gives an indication of how it would look when framed. It is equipped with a hanging system. However, framing is desirable. The work is carefully packed in a cardboard box and bubble wrap. Shipped by registered post with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Bert lives and works in Zwolle.
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.
