Gerard van der Weerd's theme's are models, interiors and landscapes. The preliminary work appears to be enacted quickly, followed by a painstaking process, layer upon layer. His portrayal of models concerns his so-called "back portraits"; Women in day-to-day situations. In his landscapes, Japanese geishas wander past mysterious mountains and gardens towards an unknown destination. Gerard van der Weerd works both in Hoogeveen and Antwerp.
