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 Acrylic Painting on Fabriano Paper, Stacked Sheep and Green Eclipse
By Gozo
Located in FISTERRA, ES
Surrealist acrylic painting on paper featuring stacked sheep and a glowing green eclipse, created in 2024 by the Galician-based Gozo Collective. This original work blends figurative surrealism with visual poetry, portraying a quiet pastoral landscape transformed into a cosmic allegory. Three stylized sheep are stacked vertically at the center of the composition, their forms silhouetted against a gradient horizon in luminous tones of emerald, jade, and turquoise. The uppermost figure aligns with a radiant green halo, creating a fictional eclipse that blurs the boundary between celestial and terrestrial realms.
Painted with acrylic and spray paint on 400gsm Fabriano paper, the surface reveals a subtle misty texture achieved through layering and controlled dispersion. The result is both humorous and meditative, echoing themes of absurdity, gravity, and harmony.
This surrealist painting is unframed and ships flat in a protective sleeve, making it ideal for collectors seeking unique, biophilic, and symbolic artwork with a strong visual impact.
