About the Item
This mixed media artwork by Gozo, titled Ten Cypresses Arguing About the Byzantine Empire, presents a surreal landscape featuring a row of vibrant green cypress trees set against a shimmering gold leaf background. The expressive brushstrokes and subtle red accents at the bases of the trees create a striking visual contrast, blending natural elements with symbolic undertones.
Crafted using an assemblage of recycled materials, including newspaper, wood veneers, and packing foam, the piece demonstrates a masterful transformation of everyday objects into a cohesive and impactful work of art. The application of gold leaf enhances the composition’s visual depth and provides a luxurious counterpoint to the salvaged materials.
On the reverse, the humorous inscription, “Ten Cypresses Arguing About the Byzantine Empire,” introduces a playful and intellectual layer, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of history, nature, and the absurd. This duality between the work’s visual richness and its conceptual humor underscores Gozo’s ability to merge surrealism with thoughtful commentary.

Gozo
Gozo is a collective driven by the community of artists at Casa das Peritas, an art space located in the rural area of the Galician Atlantic Coast in Spain. The collective is focused on the creation of medium and large-format works where the poetic dimension becomes the central element. The works of Gozo emerge from processes of creative disruption and are activated through playful work sessions where individual authorships dissolve into a common brand that celebrates the wonder of the world's beauty. The resulting artworks are materialized in eclectic and unbiased styles and techniques, designed to provoke pleasure in their contemplation and contribute to the creation of healthy, pleasant, and enjoyable interior spaces.

Surrealist Landscape with Feathered Object in Acrylic, Paper, and Gold Leaf
Vibrant and colorful surrealist landscape by Oregon artist Hugh Webb (American, b. 1940).

The background is made of layers of distressed gold leaf.
Unsigned, but was acquired from a collection of the artist's work.
