Gerti Bierenbroodspot (Amsterdam, May 9, 1940) is a Dutch visual artist, poet and archaeologist.
Bierenbroodspot followed training at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam and the Institute for Drawing Teachers, also located there.
Gerti Bierenbroodspot could be called a classicist realist because of her iconographic concentration on archaeological find types and her knowledge of antiquity. However, her paintings do not represent archaeological values in the sense of reconstruction drawings.
On closer inspection it appears that she has subordinated the realistic archaeological data to a metaphysical content. Her work metaphysically transposes concrete data from reality. A reality that has its origins in trips she made to Italy, Greece and Egypt. Her first architectural paintings were created in Pompeii in 1977.
Bierenbroodspot departed from the spatial illusion of the Pompeian wall paintings. In Greece she signed many excavations. In fact, the drawings she made were preliminary studies for the paintings. Crete inspired her, among other things, to make a series of color lithographs of labyrinths. Seven labyrinths, seven moments of travel with Theseus, Ariadne, the minotaur and Daedalus, a paradox of reflections within a technically perfect performance. In 1981 she traveled to Egypt. Here too she was at excavations to draw.
'When you look at it,' she noted, 'you translate what you know, the historical knowledge. In some places you are acutely aware that the things you see are not made for the living.' Bierenbroodspot's metaphysical imagination is aimed at a world other than the archaeological one.
