AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sly N-35 – Abstract Expressionist Landscape by Retne (XXL)
A powerful abstract landscape driven by sweeping diagonal movement and layered energy. The composition unfolds through fast, directional lines and scattered splashes of colour, creating a sensation of wind, speed, and continuous motion. Sly N-35 reads as a landscape not of place, but of force — an environment shaped by rhythm and momentum rather than form.
Built through expressive dripping and gestural application, the painting balances density and openness. Deep blue and black lines cut across a warm, neutral ground, while spontaneous splashes introduce moments of tension and release. The large-scale format amplifies the immersive quality, allowing the viewer to physically feel the flow and direction embedded in the surface.
Important note: This artwork is sold unmounted (without a stretcher frame) and will be shipped rolled. This method ensures safe international delivery and allows the collector to stretch the canvas to their preferred specifications after arrival.
Signed on the front and back. Certificate of Authenticity included and hand-signed by the artist – confirming originality and authorship.
