ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A painting for those who love nature and Zen. Inspired by a section of text from the Tao Te Ching we present - Closer Still - A deep and rich painting that invites the viewer on to a place of attentive stillness. "That we are forced to pay attention to their appearance. Hesitant, like one crossing an ice covered river. Ready, like one afraid of his neighbours on all sides. Dignified, like a guest. Loose, like ice about to melt. Straightforward, Like an uncarved block of wood. Open Like a Valley. Obscure, like muddy water." Painted in the artists Characteristic fluid style, Closer Still gives the viewer space to pause, the layers and subtle shifts in colour and the unusual composition create a feeling of alertness and curiosity. A beautiful edition to your collection and will be shipped stretched, unframed with a certificate of Authenticity directly from the artist studio in Belgrade.
