Oil on canvas from the Waldesruh series, by the German artist Helge Hommes, born in 1964.
Dimensions 175 x 250 cm.
Signature of the artist on the back and dated 1998, 1999, 2000.
Oil paint applied in several layers over 3 years to obtain a strong relief.
Many important galleries and museums, such as the Schmalfuss Gallery in Berlin and the Arnoux Gallery in Paris, have already presented Helge Hommes' works.
The painting support, the canvas, is mounted on enormous frames. The paint is massively applied and plowed like a field. In the black relief of the linear impastos, in its furrows, the light, greenish-bluish, breaks. Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, like the order of a geometric image.
Tree and branches like a painting of chaos, charged with energy.
Extremely strong work.
Unique piece. Rare on the market.
