Statement of Work
On September 11, 2001, I sat shocked and horrified as I watched the unimaginable events unfold. The pictures and thoughts have stayed with me and I suspect they always will.
After the recent airplane crash in The Alps, I once again felt the raw emotion of helplessness and was inspired to paint “Inferno” to express my memories of that day. My painting was created in honor of all of the souls that left the world on that day, and all of the forever damaged souls that were left behind.

Gerhard Pelzer is a former aerospace physicist and inventor, turned painter.
Shortly after returning to his childhood home in Germany in early 2014 to care for his elderly father, he sustained a serious head injury. He was standing on a ladder that broke, throwing him to the ground below. His head made direct impact on solid concrete edging. He spent nearly two weeks in Intensive Care.
He returned home with a loss of smell, but with a new appreciation for his surroundings. He began to paint. He had painted before but was newly inspired. His body of work includes many different types of media, styles and colors. His greatest inspiration is nature.
