INTERBIFEP is a biennial dedicated exclusively to the art of portraiture. It explores the subject through a wide range of facets and techniques—such as photography, printmaking, and painting. The event is organized by the Tuzla Cultural Center (Javna ustanova).

About my portrait work

My portrait works from various series are generally conceptual in nature. However, they all incorporate predominantly metaphorical and symbolic elements that surround the subject.

 

《 12x12x12+ Nature / Nature Art Cube Exhibition》

For the third time, another cube by me, titled “Sun-Windows-Cities” (6042), is being presented at the Geumgang Nature Art Biennale 2026

《 12x12x12+ Nature / Nature Art Cube Exhibition》

Urban Nature Art - Let the Sunlight in through My Window

12/09/ - 08/11//2026 / Daily except Mondays 10.00-17.00 h

Nature Art Museum Ko - Exhbition Gallery 2, Geumgang Nature Art Center,

98 Yeonmisan Gogae-gil, Gongju City, Republic of Korea

《 12x12x12+ Nature / Nature Art Cube Exhibition》, which has been conducted as one of the indoor exhibitions of 《 Geumgang Nature Art Biennale》 since 2017, is a program that seeks to interpret and broaden awareness of nature in various ways of thinking and expression in a 12cm cube. In fact, dealing with nature in a limited space is not as easy as you might think, but on the other hand, because it is a limited space, paradoxically, you may be able to show more imagination.

About the Cube “Sun-Windows-Cities”,(6042)

The cubus pursues an emotional and philosophical approach. The main elements, rings/circles, symbolize the sun (light), windows, and cities. Simultaneously, they symbolize inside and outside, a home, a community, but also the longing for harmony. The stripes metaphorically represent the interconnectedness of everything.

This work focuses on the representation of mental aspects related to memories, such as thoughts and feelings, traumatic events or emergencies, and their impact on the individual (humanity). No actual sounds of violence, witness testimonies, or moral judgments will be heard. It is merely a quiet reflection on all kinds of memories of harsh, destructive events. Yet these memories offer neither comfort nor hope. They leave only a void filled with unanswered questions.

K33 -

Radiophrenia Shorts 65B 20 September 2026 3:50 pm - 4:10 pm

The work is based on personal experiences traversing the paths and rooms filled with trash and debris in a former conservatory building in its final days before demolition. The work seeks a dialogue not only with the physical waste and space, but also with the spiritual debris of abandoned ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

The project of online presentation of the video performance on the YouTube channel of the IMAF festival will be realized from August 24 to September 5, 2026. Another of the accompanying events within IMAF 2026 is the international multimedia exhibition. Photographs, digital prints, drawings and video works submitted for this year's online presentation will be exhibits for a multimedia exhibition entitled "Performance = Freedom". Thus, the participants of the online presentation are also exhibitors at the "Performance = Freedom" exhibition.

About the performance “meaning to be hidden”

Following a strict choreography, the performer reflects the concept of dignity in relation to time, stillness, the power of solitude, and life through carefully executed movements. It highlights the fact that every living being and every object has dignity and its own time. Furthermore, the work takes a philosophical approach within the context of time and dignity. At the same time, the work also addresses loneliness. Being alone is not always painful, but it can be complex and challenging. We may be in a phase of longing for companionship and change, but we must also ask ourselves whether the process of yearning for belonging to a social environment has already begun, or whether we are ultimately consciously avoiding any sense of belonging or connection to others.

New gallery and shop on Saatchi Art,

I am currently setting up a gallery and shop on Saatchi Art, where my work can be purchased.

At present, the gallery and shop are focusing on a selection of my photographs from various portfolios. I have chosen nude and floral photography in particular to highlight the contrasts in my work. Limiting the focus to these two themes and photography serves to provide a clear overview of my interdisciplinary and multimedia work on this gallery and shop platform. After a certain initial period, printmaking may be added, and the themes will change.

Here is the link to take a first look at the gallery and shop.

https://www.saatchiart.com/en-nl/johannesgerard

I chose Saatchi Art because it is a curated platform that focuses purely on art and caters to an art-interested audience/collectors. I closed for good my shop on Etsy due to my dissatisfaction with the platform.
