X-rays
​Geritsen uses X-ray photography as a technique to reveal the underlying layers of artworks. Geritsen's work, which belongs to modern determination techniques in painting, is still carried out analogically. His X-ray photographs not only expose the surface layers of a piece of art but also reveal the internal structures, such as the wood and nails. This adds a new dimension to the painting. Geritsen combines traditional photographic processes with advanced technologies, resulting in unique visual and scientific approaches. His photographic works bridge the gap between investigative photography and artistic interpretation.
