In the late 1980s Bert Mebius started a series of primarily small sizes works on paper. This series has been growing ever since, currently comprising a corpus of several thousands.
Bert Mebius's drawings have the offhand simplicity and crude directness of casually made notes and sketches. They are unsophisticated and with many. Both their multitude and their simplicity are the outcome of a lifelong process. They are mostly made of simple materials: pencil, ink, ballpoint pen, felttip pen, watercolour, stationery, scrap paper. Bert Mebius's drawings suggest that they are about something, that they are about something, that they signify something or other, have content, mae sense even. They present human figures, landscapes, animals, objects, interiors.
Bert Mebius lives and works in Amsterdam (NL).
