Bas Geerts

To create these works, Geerts begins not with a brush, Visual artist and poet. Lives and works in Amsterdam.

There is an unseen logic behind the random assemblages in the abstract paintings of Bas Geerts, a structure that governs the intertwining and reflecting forms that populate each painting’s surface.

‘We’re pleased to welcome Bas Geerts to MPV Gallery! Bas Geerts’ work is characterised by an openness of form, a kind of agility that simultaneously manifests itself on several levels.Each artwork begins with a design created by a computer program, written by Geerts himself, which is then translated by the artist through layers of metal leaf, pure pigment and paint. His unique process, combined with the viewer’s own perspective, challenges the illusion of control.’
