Redwind and Gnus – African impression in fossil oil painting
Artwork Description
The painting “Redwind and Gnus” (50 × 150 cm, 2005) shows a herd of gnus in the wide savannah. The animals appear like shadow figures in the haze, dissolved into warm, earthy layers of colour. The fossil painting technique with embedded natural structures lends the work a special tactility and depth. Glazes in beige, brown and black create a mysterious mood that recalls the primal nature and power of African landscapes. The panoramic composition emphasises wandering and transience, transforming the gnus into a timeless symbol of movement and life.
