Description from the seller
This abstract artwork by Geert Vrijdag is dominated by an intensely deep-blue field, in which large black and gray shapes seem to float. The strong outlining and the combination of painterly planes, loose lines, and scratching drawings give the work a spontaneous and energetic appearance. Although some forms resemble stones, bodies, or other recognizable objects, the composition deliberately remains open to interpretation. That fits Vrijdag's method: he began without a pre-conceived image and let the composition arise during the creative process. Form, color, movement, and material were more important than a recognizable depiction.
Geert Vrijdag (1943–1999) was a Dutch painter and draftsman, born in Geldrop. He studied at the Art Academy in Tilburg and at the Academy of Industrial Design in Eindhoven. Vrijdag worked mainly abstractly and regarded making art as an intuitive and almost meditative process. Instead of planning a composition in advance, he started from the empty plane and allowed colors, lines, and shapes to emerge gradually. His work includes paintings, mixed techniques, and silkscreens, and is characterized by expressive forms and often strong colors. From 1988 onwards he exhibited at various venues in the Netherlands, and his work was, among other places, shown at the European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht.
Dimensions: 28 x 28 cm
