TWO ‘SOUL-BROTHERS’ FROM AMERSFOORT, The Netherlands
Gert van Reenen and Norbertus go back a long time as friends and inspirations of each other’s work, they found each other not only in art but also in enjoying the good life!
GERT VAN REENEN is a Lyrical Abstract painter with monumental compositions, warm colors, large surfaces, and precise details. Gert’s powerful palette is bright and fresh and reflects the sounds and colors of his travels to Greece, Mexico, Bonaire, French Provence, and Spanish Marbella. His works radiate energy and ‘joie de vivre’.
Dynamic movements with large strokes of color build tension using direction, line elements and refinement. His use of materials and textures is robust and expressive. Always with the same result: Surprise, Vitality and Liveliness!
NORBERTUS enchants not only with his brushstrokes but also with the colorful stories behind his art. His paintings, drenched in South American colors, seem to dance like a salsa on the canvas.
An artist who effortlessly switches between shocking and calming, and whose exhibitions are told like stories through the colorful brushstrokes on his canvases. “I want people to leave my exhibitions with a mix of amazement and a broad grin,” he declared with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
