Gerdine Duijsens-Kroezen - litho 88/132 - A fat spoiled lady, signed

Fat ladies and crazy situations. Figuration and abstraction are united in the cheerful, colorful palette of Gerdine Duijsens. Gerdine Duijsens has a very recognizable style, which can be divided into four main forms: dining scenes, animals, abstracts and portraits. Her people are bon vivants, a little blasé or ridiculous, arrogant or insecure, cheerful or bored. Her animals are spirited, powerful, dynamic and fast, her abstracts are fascinatingly layered and exciting and her portraits are timeless. The dining scenes have become Gerdine's trademark and
generate a steadily growing fan base.
Gerdine places her figures in their unguarded moments with gentle
mocking their vulnerable and insecure selves when, thinking themselves unobserved, they momentarily
trying to escape from a world where status, knowledge, protocols and power are their
to hold captive. The eating and drinking scenes have no preconceived plan. Inspired by a colour or a feeling, the artist sees the hilarious figures that were waiting for her under the paint emerge. Colour, feeling, harmony and movement determine the image. With a sense of humour, Gerdine Duijsens evokes an emotion in the viewer with her work. Lyrical expressionism in its purest form. Looking at Gerdine Duijsens' painting, we see ourselves. There is nothing we can do about it, a smile plays on our lips, a giggle creeps up along our midriff. That is why we want her paintings on our walls. Because they tell us something about ourselves. Because they are real.
