Gerti Bierenbroodspot, Slang, a hand-signed silkscreen in a limited edition 247/300 from the Netherlands, created in 1970–1980, depicting animals in an expressionist style; dimensions 82 x 56 cm.
Description from the seller
Gerti Bierenbroodspot draws strong inspiration in her work from the archaeological world and ancient antiquity. She examines forms, postures and clothing from old cultures and translates them into her own artistic style. In this way she combines historical elements with modern expression, causing her work to bridge the past and the present. Her figures reflect the elegance and symbolism of the classical world, but receive a fresh, contemporary interpretation.
Bierenbroodspot followed training at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam and the equally established Instituut Opleiding tot Tekenleraren located there. She began painting in the old studio of her uncle Leo Gestel, who died in 1941, in Huizerhoogt. She works as a painter, draftsman, etcher and sculptor, and also designs tapestries and writes poems. Work by Bierenbroodspot has been exhibited in various places in the Netherlands. Outside the Netherlands she has exhibited, among others, in Brussels, New York, Amman and Beirut.
Dimensions of the work without frame: 82 x 56 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house custom frame shop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore, we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
