Geert Bordich, born in Kiel in 1943, grew up in Denmark and northern Germany. Worked as an art director at a magazine publishing house in Baden-Baden until 2008. As a child, I received my first artistic impulses from my father, who was a sculptor. Since then, creativity has always been my companion. I completed my education at a private art school in Hamburg. At that time I belonged to the circle of the so-called Hamburg Realists, was and am active as a lecturer in painting. My continuing relationship to the north is easy to read in my paintings. In my landscapes and figure scenes are numerous maritime motifs. Waves and cloudy skies, as they are preferably found at the sea, the immersion in the water, the gentle glide of a swimmer, the merging of sky, water and land into an enormously physical and at the same time atmospheric natural entity and pictorial landscape. To many, representational painting may seem more difficult than motifs that are not beholden to a real model. For me, however, the object gives the necessary security, on which I can let off steam, to the limit of abstraction. On the basis of the object I can experiment and try out. However, this should never be an end in itself, but determined by the subject. The language of art is universally understandable. It promotes dialogues and can process problems of the environment and society.
