In his work, Geert Baas (1955) strives to seamlessly unite the disciplines of painting, drawn sketches, photography, and found materials. This is not achieved through blending these techniques, but rather by presenting them side by side, in a diptych or triptych format. For Baas, this is the ideal form as it allows for the perfect alignment of all elements. Serendipity plays a significant role in this process.
A crucial component of his oeuvre is the use of line drawings, applied to the canvas directly with a tube mouthpiece. These drawings may take the form of tags or intricate calligraphic designs that demand attention.
