Auctioneering

Well, I've decided to put some new ink work up for auction, so go get them while they're hot! Keeping the prices low to start with, so it's a good opportunity to invest in some original art without spending your salary.

Just search "Hendrik Gericke" in the link above.

Up and running

Well, I finished and delivered forty new little paintings to Salon 91 in Kloof Street about two weeks ago but we finally got round to hanging the little bastards yesterday, so go have a look if you're in Cape Town. They're well priced too, so it's a wicked little gift idea.

Also this past saturday my work went o display at the Climate/Gallery in New York, so fingers crossed that we can perpetuate that little avenue.

Well, here are some of the images, click the link above for the lot.

Distraction

Well, here's the last doodle I just abandoned, no point carrying on with it for too long, so NEXT!

Silly Season

Hey everybody. I trust things will be winding down as the end of the year approaches once again, but not just yet. Crazy busy this side with a bunch of interesting projects and developments. I will have work showing at three different locations over the holiday season, I am wrapping up a ton of little paintings for Salon 91, my representative gallery in Cape Town, so if you’re in this neck of the woods, do swing by.
Some work is also on display at Off the Wall gallery in Paarl and that will hang until the end of January. Lastly, three of my ink drawings will be on display at the Climate Gallery in Queens, New York for a drawing exhibition during December, so if you happen to find yourself in the Big Apple, do swing by. I've attached one of the drawings below, it's a three-part set entitled Humourless Tumours.

Commissions.

Seeing as I am currently wrapping up a bit of a painting marathon, my schedule is easing up a little (this is bound not to last long!), so if anyone is interested in gift paintings and commissions over Christmas, just give me a shout, you can NOT go wrong with original artwork For a load of examples of my range, click the links below.

Well, that’s me done pitching for the time being, hope you’re all good this summer and do drive safely!

Forward Movement

Well, here's the latest digital piece. Any advances I've managed to make in this medium owe a lot to the guys at Massive Black, they offer some serious help to those of us who are out in the sticks as far as production art is concerned. If you're interested in this kind of thing, check out their dvd section.

This drawing is a personal concept project that I hope to expand upon, there's a great big story behind this, but that'll be revealed in time. For now, hope you like the purdy (dark) picture.

Old Skool, New School.

Man, I've been a bit lax with the updating Been busy though, so not exactly lazy. Moving house and working hard.

At the moment it's a painting marathon, doing forty itty bitty little paintings for a show at Salon91 (in CT) this December. I have also (kinda sorta) completed illustration work on the short film Thanks Dad, mentioned in the post below. I will have more information regarding that as it is completed.

Some new work I'm posting is both digital and ink, as I've been messing around in both, so hopefully I'll have something COHERENT for you guys soon. In the meantime, hope you like!

New Adventures in Celluloid

Well, I'm not going to get all semantic with reference to the title of this post, but yes, they tend to shoot things in digital these days. Films i mean. Which is what i'm currently working on. I have produced a painting for the production of a short film shot in Cape Town titled Thanks Dad directed by Hein DeVos and written by Vicky Davis

I will also be providing images for the opening credits, but that is still in the process check and test, so nothing to show just yet.

But here are a the digital mockups and the finished product for the painting.

Cultivaria work

Hey guys. Well, my last exhibition which took place in Paarl two weeks ago has come and gone, so here's some of the work i did for that. Hope you like.

The self portrait I've posted before, but that was also included in the selection, so I'll post it again. Because I like it.

Dragging the Lake

Once again, not too much posting going on here, but that generally means I'm being too industrious to do so.

I have a bunch of paintings showing at Cultivaria festival this weekend in Paarl and those pics will be posted as soon as they come down. In the meantime i'm also breaking wicked new ground in the digital realm, but that's for a project still in development, so they'll come to light a bit later.

Here are a few sketches that have been accumulating in the meantime. I'll spare you guys the greater unloading, because there's a ton of shit. So for now it's just one or two.

Burst.

I have been getting agitated not painting as much as I'd like, so I tore into an unsuspecting sheet of canvas and now, an hour later, all I can think of is lunch. Not as irritated anymore, but looking forward to doing some more.

Here it is, hope you like.
