Visual artist Harrie A. Gerritz (Wijchen, 1940) has been dedicated to depicting the landscape in all its manifestations for more than 40 years.
Gerritz brings these landscapes back to their essence in his work.
He seeks tension in his work by creating the landscape with as few elements as possible, asking himself the question: 'Can it be done with even less?' Gerritz prefers to work with primary colours and black, which he learned to work with in graphic printing companies.
His stylized visual language is instantly recognizable.
Harrie Gerritz studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arnhem.
His work is included in several museum collections, including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and Museum Het Valkhof in Nijmegen.
