Oeuvre Ad Gerritsen (Arnhem, 1940 – Arnhem, 2015) has created an unimaginable amount of works of art. Paintings in all sizes, drawings, graphics, ceramics and sculptures. Gerritsen was a beloved artist because of his opinionated visual language, which contained both humor and social discussion points.
Much of his work has already found its way to private collectors, corporate collections and museums. The artist was particularly interested in the bias with which people judge each other. He always sought the limits of human moral awareness, and found his themes in wars, crimes and other absurd situations. He painted the many portraits of trauma victims or of criminals in such a way that no distinction can be made between the two.
