Oeuvre Ad Gerritsen (Arnhem, 1940 – Arnhem, 2015) has created an unimaginable amount of works of art. Paintings in all sizes, drawings, graphics, ceramics and sculptures. Gerritsen was a beloved artist because of his opinionated visual language, which contained both humor and social discussion points.
His work looks narrative, without being real. Pictures from magazines and newspapers form the input for the work. Mainly bad guys, gangsters, public women, bored teenagers. Nor does he shy away from making comparisons with goats, donkeys, rams. Some discomfort creeps up on us while watching the work. The human figure looks sullen, vague or hysterical. The composition is very clear. Centered on the sheet is a portrait of a human or animal. Ad Gerritsen encourages us to make our own comparison.
Gerritsen's work belongs to the collections of, among others, The Rijksmuseum, Museum Arnhem, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Dordrechts Museum.
