Immerse yourself in this evocative original painting that exploring the power of despair and transformation. Rendered in a dramatic Expressionist style, this work is both visually intense and symbolically layered. A commanding figure with raised arms dominates the composition, suggesting invocation, resistance, or surrender. Below, a smaller, cloaked figure stands in stark contrast—stoic and resigned. Surrounding both is mystical swirl of black wing-like forms and surreal color washes that evoke chaos and entrapment.
27.8cm Wide x 1.5cm Deep x 41cm High
Created in ink with either watercolor or ink wash, on paper. The painting’s line work and brush strokes are fervent, physically representing emotional discord. The artist’s use of light and shadow adds to the foreboding atmosphere, while the vibrant reds and deep blues provide a dynamic contrast. This piece is signed and dated “36” in the lower left corner (1936). The artist's signature is difficult to decipher. It appears to read "Jan Bous" - but that is unconfirmed. The piece is housed in a wood frame with a protective clear acrylic panel over the art. Sourced in Leiden, Netherlands The artwork is likely of European origin\. Dutch, German, or Belgian.
