Gerard Boersma (1976) - De Storm (painting of a man enjoying a painting by Bart van der Leck)

Gerard Boersma is known for his paintings of people in museums looking at famous paintings.

This work of 30 x 30 cm shows a man enjoying a painting by Bart van der Leck. De Storm (The Tempest) marks Van der Leck's transition into radical abstraction and the foundation of the De Stijl movement. The painting captures a traditional Dutch theme—fisherwomen gazing out at a turbulent sea—distilled into highly simplified forms and flat planes of color.

The work dates from 2026 and is made with acrylic on panel. Signed on the back and comes with a label of the artist as well as a Certificate Of Authenticity.
