Description from the seller
Bert Loerakker (Breda, 1948) is a Dutch painter, graphic artist and photographer who has lived and worked in Helmond since 1969. He is among the most important contemporary artists in the Netherlands and has exhibited domestically and internationally. His work is included in leading museum collections, including those of the Van Abbemuseum and Museum Helmond.
Loerakker's work is characterized by a continual search for the relationship between abstraction and reality. Landscapes often form the starting point, but are combined with sharp geometric shapes and color fields. This creates a tension between emotion and reason, between the spontaneity of nature and the order of the abstract composition. His paintings often consist of two panels that form one whole and invite the viewer to draw connections and assign personal meaning to the image.
What is notable is that Loerakker almost always titles his works "Untitled." This is intended to prevent a title from influencing the viewer's interpretation. According to the artist, every work should offer the freedom to be viewed and experienced in a personal way. His inquisitive approach is also evident in his use of various techniques, including painting, graphic art, photography and monotypes.
Through his unique combination of landscape elements and abstract forms, Bert Loerakker has built a recognizable and idiosyncratic oeuvre. His work invites careful looking and shows that painting is not only a depiction of reality, but also a means of posing questions about perception, space and meaning.
