About the Item
The illusions and reflections in Sietens prints often bring M.C. Escher to mind, but his prints have a distinctive feel all their own. His surreal constructions of Kastani (chestnuts) defy gravity, and the level of detail is stunning.
The hyper realistic detail of each chestnut in this imaginary construct adds to the surreal quality. His surreal constructions of Kastani (chestnuts) defy gravity, and the level of detail is stunning. Guntars Sietins' prints continue to win international printmaking competitions, and he was recently featured in the book Printmaking Beyond the Edge by Richard Noyce.
