Gerd sees water differently to most of us.
He is in awe of the surprising colours and amazing shadows generated by combinations of sun, moon, sea life, clouds and reflection.
He waxes lyrical about the textures and ripples created by wind, rain, or a school of fish.
His home by the beautiful Hawkesbury River offers him inspiration on a daily basis. Changing seasons, varied weather, water depth, and a wealth of fish life mean the river is a constant source of material for Gerd and his inquisitive mind.
Years of study and diligent experimentation into mediums, techniques and applications have resulted in his unrivaled ability to produce works both large and small that seem to draw you in to their depth. Fish appear to swim deep beneath his canvas, whilst the sun appears to bounce off the paint almost requiring sunglasses of the viewer.
