Peter Redert (Rotterdam, 1948) is represented by Cokkie Snoei, Rotterdam and a guest artist in the 10th anniversary exhibition 10+ . showing 64 artists at one time presented at the gallery.
In Peter Redert's paintings, we see a distant world that no longer exists. We see the interpretation of the memory of a frozen moment. The sharpness of reality has faded with all-time travel. The reality that Redert encounters again has something of a surprising discovery, which you also seem familiar.
His paintings are built up layer by layer. One layer is applied with a roller, while the next is painted. Then another layer is rolled. There is talk of a "sandwich technique". As a result, the canvases make a worked-through and lived impression. In a snowy landscape, we seem to be dealing with an old winter. The canvas makes an almost Breughelian impression, partly due to the bird's eye view that has been applied.
