Harrie Gerritz (born 1940) calls himself a landscape painter, but it would be a long search to find a landscape like his. His interest lies in "signs," in concepts, in forms that don't occur in nature—the square, for example. The artist "creates" the square by connecting horizontal and vertical lines, like a horizon and a church tower, or a river and trees. And he is concerned with the "constructed landscape," to which humans have added geometric shapes: the block shapes of a house, a sidewalk, a church tower, or a fence.
Over the years, his work has become increasingly abstract. The palette is crucial. From the very beginning, Harrie has worked with the colors he knew from the printing world: yellow, blue, red, and black. He still has a knack for this; it suits his tendency toward reduction.
"Being an artist means that from morning to night, from spring to winter, you're occupied with your work as the driving force of your existence. I don't wait for inspiration. I wake up and think: I want to experience something today! Create a good painting, for example," says Harrie Gerritz.
His work has been exhibited in numerous leading museums, including the Boymans van Beuningen Museum, the Cobra Museum, and the Singer Museum. His reputation extends beyond national borders, having exhibited internationally in cities such as Hamburg, New York, Moscow, and Seoul.
