Description of the Artwork “Aphrodite, a tough woman”
Lambda C-print on acrylic glass . Ready to hang. This artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the artist.. Outstanding Quality. In 'Aphrodite: Essence of Strength', Geert Lemmers masterfully intertwines the worlds of fashion and philosophy, encapsulating the complexity of feminine strength and resilience. Drawing inspiration from diverse cultures and incorporating elements ranging from fur coats to mechanical devices against a backdrop of nature, Lemmers constructs a tapestry of symbolism. With a sun-drenched palette, the textures of hair and fabric come alive, weaving a narrative of beauty and toughness. This artwork not only highlights the absurdity and irrationality of the world we inhabit but also celebrates the enduring spirit of womanhood, portrayed through the mythic figure of Aphrodite as a modern-day emblem of toughness and grace amidst chaos.

I work in different techniques and it is all manual work: I take photographs, I make paintings and I work in the so-called new media, in which I "develop" or even improve my photographic work [we used to use a wet darkroom for this] but the software offers much more possibilities. With the help of NEW MEDIA I use [parts of] my paintings and photos and I can create completely new works of art by building them up in layers. My catalog therefore consists of three types of works: 1. Photographs that are printed on or under acrylic glass. 2. Physical paintings, usually acrylic and oil paint on canvas or wooden panel. 3. New Media works that are printed on or under acrylic glass. My paintings are of course all unique. My photo and new media works usually have an edition of a maximum of 8 pieces per artwork, but some selected works are sold as unique [maximum 1 copy]. You can discuss with me at any time about the design and size, but also about the price. It is important to me that you are completely satisfied; Given the interest from galleries and museums, I would have to set the prices much higher, but I think reaching you as a collector / lover of good art is more important than making money. My ideas and statements about ART: I think that art gives us back to ourselves in a renewed state. By paying attention to art for a moment, we tap into a source within ourselves and we gain access to the imagination. Art offers us new perspectives, makes us think and activates our senses. Art gives us value so that we feel we can be different from what we tend to think. She teaches us how we can free ourselves from our regular pattern, rise above ourselves and open ourselves to other people, to the world.
