Ger van Elk (1941-2014)
Modern Portrait with Palette
1987 | enamel paint on black-and-white photo on PVC | 199 × 115 cm
Ger van Elk loves bending the rules of art as well as of art history by combining techniques and styles.
Modern Portrait with Palette is his own variation on the traditional self-portrait. Here Van Elk portrays himself while at work. He holds a palette in his hands from which the colours literally splatter. We as observers see only his back.
