Gert van Dijk, city prints of Leiden
Contact
Gert van Dijk creates atmospheric cityscapes of Leiden. Early in the morning, he photographs locations in the city that feature striking light. He then translates these into drawings using a consistent line thickness—a style known as the "Clear Line" (reminiscent of the *Tintin* comics).
Van Dijk does not use solid blocks of color; instead, he prefers working with color gradients, shadows, and patches of sunlight. His drawings often feature a single figure who adds a narrative element to the cityscape: Gert van Dijk’s wife, seen enjoying the city while wearing a red coat. A new annual calendar will also be released soon.
