"Johannes Gervé is a conscientious observer, a sensitive researcher, a melancholy traveler, a painter. It is the search for the essence of a fleeting emotion, the awareness of the irretrievability of a moment, an unmanifested longing, light and heavy at the same time. (...) He subtly plays with colors, explores their sounds, searches for and examines transitions, the finest nuances, color noise, loud glow, soft shimmer, light."
(Sina Firniss, www.gerve.de)
Gervé's painting approaches the vastness and depth of an openly conceived landscape space without a specific local reference point. The painter's freedom to artistically engage with what he has seen and experienced on his travels lies in his processual work.
This concentrated creative process culminates in the aesthetic enchantment of landscape as a projection surface for emotions, harmonies and images.
