Rising Up S elevant — Fine Art

Rising Up S elevant shows shapes that lean and rise against a soft background. The forms read as simple rounded shapes, built up in layers and then trimmed back. Jean Arp worked in a dada and surrealist way, letting chance guide the cuts and curves.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The matte sheet keeps the grey and white tones even under room light, so the shapes hold their soft edges.

On a study wall the broad forms read first, and the small cut lines come into view when you step nearer. It sits well above a low desk where you work.
