Though he was clearly fascinated by colour, the artist here reverts to monochrome, creating an image that is almost like an x-ray. Some of the flowers in the background are blurred, as are the roses in their vase, contrasted with the more definite handling of the leaves. Taken together they create an intense, almost visionary effect.All artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity and in some cases an accompanying text or artist biography.
