Gerti Beerebrootsbot

Her series of seven prints produced at Fred Genis’s workshop at Oudkerk in Friesland in the mid-1970s — collectively titled Labyrinths — is the heart of her collaboration with Genis. Ranging across Cretan, Jerusalem, and abstract labyrinthine imagery, the series explores the labyrinth as both physical structure and psychological metaphor — a place of complexity, transformation, and the search for a way through. Produced between 1975 and 1976, the works were realised in multiple colour variants including gold and black, each version shifting the mood and meaning of the underlying composition.

Bierenbroodspot’s work is held in Dutch public collections and she remains a respected figure in the history of postwar Dutch printmaking.
