About the abstract art in Gera's work

J.Broome. CLS. Geneve. 2004. About the abstract art in Gera's work: “This is a new wave of abstract expressionism based on accumulated knowledge of human nature and the world, and theories of ancient and contemporary philosophy and psychology. It is impossible to copy any of these artworks, as each of them has a complex composition with multiple layers of shades and colours, creating subtle vibrations that appear more or less vividly depending on the intensity of the ambient light. They are labyrinths with ever more discoveries to be made the deeper you explore through your own subconscious." Kuznetsov, art critic, Moscow, 2000:"The imagery leads you into the depths of the picture, into mysterious temptation, into unknown. It is a glimpse through a door opening on to another reality. The painting lives its own life and changes form depending on the intensity of light and the space around the painting. There are no clearly drawn forms, but everyone draws a meaning from the images.
