Johannes Christopher Gérard
paintings on paper and canvas / paper collages / graphic works
On this website, I present a selection of my paintings on canvas and paper, as well as my graphic works. Because I work as an artist in an interdisciplinary and multimedia manner, the paintings and prints reflect only a small part of my entire oeuvre. However, to provide a better overview of all my works and avoid an overloaded presentation, I have decided to present a website that focuses exclusively on these paintings and works on paper.
About the artist
Studied at the Technical School of Printmaking and Design from 1975 to 1977 in Cologne, Germany and at the Laogharie School of Art and Design (now IADT) in Dublin, Ireland, from 1977 to 1981. He currently lives in The Hague, Netherlands. He regularly participates in exhibitions, projects, and art festivals in Europe, the Far East and South Asia, Australia, North and South America, and Africa. Until 2001, his work was predominantly figurative, after which his artistic approach shifted toward an abstract style. In 2004, he began experimenting with and creating abstract paper collages.
