For Gerard 't Hart, paper has become a means of painting. His 'torn art' should be considered from the same perspective as visual art. He frees paper from its traditional use. Torn into strips, shreds and fragments, paper lies, as it were, on his palette, in many variations of extremely carefully chosen colours.
Gerard 't Hart builds his compositions from different layers of paper, with torn edges that suggest the illusion of depth. In fact, these works are of a tenuous three-dimensionality, one gets the urge to touch them when looking at them, as you do with some plastic works of art.
