"For me, figuration and abstraction are unclear concepts. They are sooner indications that can be understood by everybody in a strictly personal and therefore different way. The notions with which I work, are therefore based less upon abstraction or figuration than on a similarity shared by these."

 

Leading up to Gerard Verdijk’s 90th birth year, SmithDavidson Gallery is excited to announce the new exhibition 'Mediations' which represents the Estate of post-war artist Gerard Verdijk. 'Meditations' explores the process of Gerard Verdijk’s later paintings and brings together twenty artworks by the artist from this period.

 

The exhibition shows the work of Gerard Verdijk from the last period of his life. His late paintings show a great restraint in minimalist compositions, yet they are filled with layered and sensuous color fields that fill the voids around solid objects and shapes. A duality materialised between concrete objects and the oppositional void that surrounds them; between the shadows and the objects that cast them.
