Hamersma: Inspired with our Environment

The Kindle Edition, revised and improved. Cyril Hamersma was an innovative, prolific and undiscovered artist who lived from 1919 to 1994. British born and of Dutch origin, he was an abstract expressionist, painter and inventor who was as driven to create as Van Gogh himself. This is an introduction to Hamersma's life and artwork, exploring his use of the environment - found objects, improvisation, observation - in the search for his true calling (the Squircle shape). A jovial man with a serious commitment to his art, he followed his artistic instincts which were bound inextricably with his search for spiritual perfection. It was often said that he was 30 years ahead of his time. Written with love and compassion, this book charts his growth as a family man, ex-POW, gent's hairdresser - to a bold eccentric whose ideas were bigger than buildings and whose outdoor installations influenced artists who are working today.
