AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This atmospheric suggestive portrait from 2025 is not framed but is nevertheless equipped with a hanging system.
The depicted frame gives an indication of how it would be framed.
Based on an old movie still from "Young at Heart" painted in a vibrant brushwork with an attractive color palette.
The work will be sent by registered mail and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Bert Heersema (married with two children) lives and works in Zwolle, Netherlands.
Statement: By avoiding the actual reality around us, I try to evoke a nostalgic mood.
Mood and space are not defined by a multitude of realistic details but rather by simplicity, often a sober color palette, so that a certain color accent captures all the attention.
Recurring visual features, such as shadows, volumes, accent color, strong contrast, nostalgia and humor are important recognizable aspects in my work, where emotions play an increasingly stronger role.
Through technique there is an exploration of different media, probing the boundaries of recognizability (realism), with moviestills from old films (Film Noir) and old documentary material serving as an important source of inspiration and a basis for a starting design.
And without losing recognizability and realism, the work must above all be a beautifully painted piece, for the experience of the viewer and the viewing 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.
