Born in the Netherlands, Geert Lemmers studied photography and photographic Art and worked for magazines and in fashion photography before focusing on his artistic career in 2008, winning the same year the professional art-prize in his region. He was further trained as an artist by other important colleague-artists.
I work in different techniques and it is all manual work: I take photographs, I make paintings and I work in the so-called new media, in which I "develop" or even improve my photographic work [we used to use a wet darkroom for this] but the software offers much more possibilities. With the help of NEW MEDIA I use [parts of] my paintings and photos and I can create completely new works of art by building them up in layers.
My catalog therefore consists of three types of works:
1. Photographs that are printed on or under acrylic glass.
2. Physical paintings, usually acrylic and oil paint on canvas or wooden panel.
3. New Media works that are printed on or under acrylic glass.
My paintings are of course all unique. My photo and new media works usually have an edition of a maximum of 8 pieces per artwork, but some selected works are sold as unique [maximum 1 copy].
You can discuss with me at any time about the design and size, but also about the price. It is important to me that you are completely satisfied; Given the interest from galleries and museums, I would have to set the prices much higher, but I think reaching you as a collector / lover of good art is more important than making money.
Artist Statement
By paying attention to art for a moment, we tap into a source within ourselves and we gain access to the imagination.
Art offers us new perspectives, makes us think and activates our senses. Art gives us value so that we feel we can be different from what we tend to think.
She teaches us how we can free ourselves from our regular pattern, rise above ourselves and open ourselves to other people, to the world.
