Planta tuberosa — Fine Art

Planta tuberosa - Surrealism shows a plant with a thick swollen root pushing through a plain field. Wols builds the picture with loose dark strokes and thin washes that let the ground show through. The root sits off centre and the surrounding space stays open and quiet.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The work follows the Surrealism movement in its use of a single natural form placed without a story. The paper is matte so the soft colours do not reflect lamp light. It arrives ready to hang with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw.

No separate frame is needed. It works well on a narrow kitchen wall by the sink. From the doorway the dark root reads first and the pale ground stays low.
