AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Atmospheric, suggestive, and finely painted painting from 2018, directly from the artist's studio. Based on an old moviestill with actors Dean Martin and Bruce Boxleitner (added by the artist himself). The artist has been in contact about this with Bruce's wife, Verena King. It is not framed yet but is equipped with a hanging system. The depicted frame provides an indication of how it looks when framed. The work is sent by registered mail, is well insured, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. For more information, a statement, and an extensive commentary overview about the artist, visit his website: www.heersema.com. Bert Heersema lives and works in Zwolle, Netherlands.

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.
