AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This lithograph by Ru van Rossum shows a powerful confrontation between man and beast. A monumental bull fills almost the entire picture plane, while a human figure clings to the animal with both hands. The bodies seem to grapple, creating a strong sense of movement, tension, and physical strength. Warm ochre and brown tones define the image and are interrupted by deep black areas and fine, sketchy lines. The abstract patterns on the right form a striking contrast with the organic shapes of man and beast and give the scene a layered, almost dreamlike character.
Ru van Rossum is a Dutch visual artist and graphic artist who, among other things, engages in painting and printmaking. In his work, recognizable forms from humans, animals, and the environment play an important role, which he often processes freely and expressively. Instead of a precise, realistic rendering, the emphasis is on movement, line, color, and the power of the composition. This is also evident 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 comes from a private collection.
