Gerti Bierenbroodspot (1940) - Ik dacht aan Afrika

I Thought of Africa (1991) is a paper screen print by Gerti Bierenbroodspot (Amsterdam, 1940), produced in collaboration with Charlise Bierenbroodspot. At the center is a monumental, strongly abstracted horn-like form, built up from broad painterly passages in dark red, brown, ochre, and black tones. Behind it, in a translucent old-pink printing layer, appears an architectural and figurative fragment with a profiled human figure. The combination of archaeologically evocative motifs, graphic structures, and expressively applied color passages gives the sheet a layered, collage-like construction. At the bottom the work is numbered in pencil 161/300. Bottom-right are the signatures of Gerti and Charlise Bierenbroodspot. Dimensions: 76 × 56 cm. Biografie kunstenaar Gerti Bierenbroodspot (Amsterdam, 1940) is a Dutch painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet. She studied at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam. Archaeology, architecture, and the material remains of ancient civilizations form important recurring elements in her oeuvre. Her long travels and work in, among other places, the Middle East brought her into direct contact with archaeological sites and monumental architecture, which clearly inform her visual language. Bierenbroodspot works in a range of disciplines and techniques, including painting, sculpture, and graphics. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including in the Middle East and the United States. In 1998 the substantial publication Sign of the Taurus: The Archaeological Worlds of Gerti Bierenbroodspot appeared. In 1999 she was appointed Knight in the Order of the Dutch Lion.
