AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This lithograph by Ru van Rossum shows a layered, almost dreamlike composition in which a monumental bull dominates the foreground. Behind it appear an elegant wrought-iron fence, architectural fragments and roughly sketched human and animal figures, causing different worlds to seem to overlap. Van Rossum combines warm earth tones with soft blues and grays and strong black planes. The alternation between finely drawn lines and diffuse color fields gives the work a mysterious atmosphere, in which the bull is both a tangible animal and a powerful, almost symbolic image.
Ru van Rossum is a Dutch visual artist and graphic artist who, among other things, engages in painting and graphic arts. In his work recognizable forms from people, animals and surroundings play an important role, often processed freely and expressively. Rather than a precise, realistic rendering, the emphasis is on movement, line, color and the power of the imagery. This is also clearly visible in this work: the animals are depicted with a loose, powerful visual language, so that not only their appearance but especially their energy and movement are central.
The work is of private provenance.
