Jeroen Gerlofsma his interest to experiment on a flat surface with forms of recognition began early. "To see an awful lot of islands there, always and everywhere. Islands of form, but also in color. They are almost impossible to imagine, they are created by the way of working, my way, "said Gade. A graphical approach is for Jeroen Gerlofsma (1974) always been important. Largest forms set the tone, whether or not surrounded with a tight but sensitive line. He is always looking for clarity and leaving out as much as possible, in his view, all those leading to nothing and it just absolutely distracting detail. The images by Gerlofsma should have a totally private story telling, free from all kinds of fixed patterns. A balanced form is essential. In many he now recognizes the same will to art on a private way to use things, materials and images ' elsewhere ' in solid meanings are anchored.
