Harrie Gerritz (1940) calls himself a landscape painter, but it would take a long time to find a landscape like the one he paints. His interest lies in 'signs', in concepts, in forms that do not occur in nature - the square, for example. The artist 'creates' the square by connecting horizontal and vertical lines, such as a horizon and a church tower, or a river and trees. And he is concerned with the 'constructed landscape', to which man has added geometric forms: the block forms of a house, a paving stone, a church tower or a fence.
Over the years his work has become increasingly abstract. The palette is of great importance. From the very beginning Harrie works with the colours he knew from the printing world: yellow, blue, red and black. He can still handle that well, it suits his tendency towards reduction.
"Being an artist means that from morning till night, from spring till winter, you are occupied with your work as the driving force of existence. I don't wait for inspiration. I wake up and think: I want to experience something today! Make a good painting, for example," says Harrie Gerritz.
His work has been exhibited in numerous leading museums: we only mention Museum Boymans van Beuningen, the Cobra Museum and the Singer Museum. He is also known beyond the borders: he has exhibited internationally in cities such as Hamburg, New York, Moscow and Seoul.
