Ger Doornink was educated at the Arnhem Art Academy. He started his career as a designer and photographer in the advertising and fashion world, using his alias “Gerry the Cat” in this business.
While living in Tokyo he became acquainted with the Japanese style and used it in his designs. In Milan (Italy) he was influenced by the famous Italian masters and the way of life in Italy. Back in the Netherlands, he began to study the old Dutch masts, just like Rembrandt.
Today, most of his works are paintings of great women; he combines all his different influences from graphic design to old masters.
Ger Doornink frames the woman on two axes, marks the expressive center of the portrait and then begins to paint. He makes portraits bathed in eternity, resulting in a memory from the future, cut from sky in grey, sepia or black and white with bold color accents.
Doornink draws the contours of the eyes like a fairytale mask and paints lips like a Hollywood set designer The influences of the painter, illustrator and photographer with influences from Tokyo, Milan and Amsterdam are clearly visible in his catwalk-ready almost geishas.
Ger Doornink is master of the snapshot, of the feminine pebaar, coloring the past and the fading of the future. As if the negative does not reveal itself, but has a revelation.
Something magical is transferred from Doornink's eye to ours, via a code that radiates modernity, sensitivity, delicacy and at the same time power.
There are invisible colors that Doornink makes visible and glances that are underlined by an accent of light. Therefore, despite being so contemporary, his work seems to have always existed.
