Gerriet Postma (30 October 1932 – 27 February 2009) was a Dutch painter. Postma was born in Twijzelerheide, Friesland, the Netherlands. He was a vehement man who painted bold paintings, with explosions of paint and abstract knots of color, with a distant figurative strain running through it. By 2009 Postma had become the best-known Frisian painter. His work is on display in galleries of Paris, Brussels and Barcelona. Postma died in Groningen on 27 February 2009.
