Artist Statement:
Ernie Gerzabek started
painting in 1970 while
practising as an Architect.
He has exhibited in various
group and solo shows ever
since. As the popularity of
his paintings increased, he
retired from Architecture in
1997 to paint full time.
Inspiration
Gerzabek's main inspiration is
Nature and the unique
landscapes of Australia in
particular: wilderness areas,
wetlands, the unspoilt
countryside, deserts and
seashores.
The Australian continent’s
unique geography, specialised
fauna and flora, and also the
infinite variety of survival
strategies in harsh
environments – all such
subject matters are a constant
source of wonderment to the
artist. It is no surprise
they become favourite and
recurrent themes for him.
Artistic Influences
When considering which artists
influenced him, Gerzabek says
he most admires Van Gogh’s
intensity and use of colour to
stir up emotions, Paul Klee’s
sensitivity and insight into
our inner beings, Kandinsky’s
exuberance and sense of
composition, Picasso’s
inventiveness and broad range
of interests.
As for Australian artists, he
loves John Olsen’s playful and
imaginative expression, Fred
Williams’ ability to abstract
the essential elements of a
landscape, and last but not
least, Emily Kngwarreye’s
instinctive mastery of colour,
structure and connection to
Country.
