Geert Lemmers exhibits in De Kleine Galerie on the Vischmarkt!

'What is art?' Everyone has an answer. Geert Lemmers too. His physical response? That lies in his paintings and his photographs. And in its digital processing, the new media. Geert Lemmers plays with materials, techniques, shapes and color. He composes. Blends a dream world with the real world. The result? A world more beautiful than the world. Important? Very important. It matters because it exists. Because the viewer automatically feels something about it. The brain works. That's the win. With art it doesn't matter whether the viewer finds something beautiful or ugly. The writer Kafka believed that you should read books that you don't want to read. This also applies to visual arts. Step out of your comfort zone. Don't avoid the other. Embark on the great adventure called art. Look at art that you like. Look at art that you find ugly. Look again. You become richer from within. Geert Lemmers also speaks in this vein: “Painting nourishes the brain. Art activates our feelings. Gives us added value. Teaches us to be open to other thoughts. I think art returns us to ourselves in a renewed state.” The philosopher Immanuel Kant expressed himself in this vein: 'art promotes communication'. So important. Without communication we end up in a cold, selfish world. In a world without cohesion
