Magical-realistic architecture and still-life are the primary subjects in Gerd Renshof’s artistic profile, the pinnacle being his still-lifes depicting old books. Over a hundred of these have come out of his studio so far. This makes him unique, the only artist to specialize in this subject in oil paint. In recent years he started to paint archicture by night. Renshof searchs always for a special kind of light. His well-wrought technique, which is based on Dutch 17th century studio practices, ensures that his paintings have a characteristic visual appeal.

Posters and postcards reproducing his work are being sold worldwide, and his work is represented in collections home and abroad. Gerd Renshof will gladly consider commissions for portraits of people or objects. He runs Academie-Renshof, his painting school in Nijmegen en Utrecht, where he teaches Old Master techniques.
