Gerard 't Hart - Indiaan.

After a period of painting in oil on linen, Gerard 't Hart switched to a different way of working: 'The Paper Paintings'. The abstract compositions are built up from different layers of torn paper in bright colors or black/white contrast, culminating in the subtle presence of a minimal color accent.

For Gerard 't Hart, paper has become a means of painting. His 'torn art' must be regarded from the same angle as visual art. Paper is released by him from traditional use. Torn into strips, shreds and shreds, paper lies on his palette, as it were, in many variations of extremely carefully chosen colors.
Gerard 't Hart builds his compositions from different layers of paper, with tear edges that suggest the illusion of depth. In fact, these works have a tenuous three-dimensionality, one tends to touch them when they see them, as you have with some plastic works of art.
