About the Item
Work on wood
Gray wooden frame
69.5 x 74.5 x 4 cm
This work depicts a captivating industrial landscape, where the horizon is dominated by an imposing mountain. In the foreground, a level-crossing gate with red and white stripes immediately catches the eye. The surrounding buildings, with their sloping roofs and aging walls, bear witness to a rich industrial past. The colors are earthy, reinforcing the austere, authentic atmosphere of the scene. The cloudy sky, with its shades of gray and white, a trailing sky that perhaps heralds a change in the weather. The power poles in the background illustrate the fusion of nature and modernity. The artist uses vigorous brushstrokes to capture the raw, tangible essence of this half-urban, half-natural environment. This painting is distinguished by its ability to evoke a silent story while presenting a balanced, harmonious composition.
