LINOCUT (ROUNDER, DEEPER, BOLDER, SMOOTHER, MORE CONNECTED), patina, nostalgia and impasto, art brut, moody, somber, desaturated colors, in the style of Paul Klee, Arthur Rackham, Tim Burton, Banksy: a man in a top hat, a woman in a green top, a yellow VESPA, a small dog, at dusk
Golden dusk unfolds,
Scooter hums on winding roads,
Silent dog observes.
A surreal, linocut-style painting features a woman in a green top and top hat riding a vintage scooter along a winding countryside road. A golden mosaic sun and pale moon hang in the sky, casting a nostalgic glow over the landscape. A black dog sits beneath an old-fashioned lamppost, watching as the scene unfolds. The textured impasto brushwork and bold outlines evoke a sense of time-worn elegance and moody storytelling.
Artistic Statement: This artwork blends the aesthetics of linocut prints, surrealism, and modernist abstraction. The influence of Paul Klee and Raoul Dufy is evident in the mosaic-like sun and whimsical storytelling, while Arthur Rackham's illustrative style gives the scene a fairytale-like quality. The high contrast and graphic forms nod to Banksy and Jean-Michel Basquiat, while the muted yet expressive palette echoes Zdzisław Beksiński’s dreamlike compositions.
