Exhibition Gertjan Scholte-Albers
About this activity.
Gertjan Scholte-Albers studied at the AKI Academy of Art & Design in Enschede. Already during his studies, Scholte-Albers decided to swap painting in a studio for the rich experience of painting outdoors. For twenty years he has been trekking out with his scooter cart, not to brave the elements but rather to use them to feed his perception of the landscape that stretches before him. “I experience the changing atmosphere, the direct light and the vast space. They give me a sense of joy”.
He paints in the woods or on Groningen's Hoge Land, where he has lived with his family since 1999. He manages to transform his nature experiences on large formats into quirky color harmonies, calling it himself, “an urge to be able to satisfy the joy of my eye.” His appearance, along with his cart, is reminiscent of a Jackson Pollock action painting. Artist, paint, canvas and cart are completely absorbed in the landscape he inimitably paints. The need for constant research and experimentation plays an important role in the work of Gertjan Scholte-Albers.
