About Gerard
Emotions, captured for eternity: Gerard, a Dutchman, learned his craft as a self-taught artist and has now been working as an artist for over 40 years.
He tells a story with each of his modelled and cast sculptures. A story of the moment, the situation, of joy and perseverance, creativity and success. They are expressive and soulful, motivating and full of energy. Through is art he gives feelings a symbolic expression. Because of that, his sculptures function as small motivators that are ideal for the workplace or the desk at home.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
