Acrylic and plants on canvas
22 x 27 cm

The realism of this work is taken to the extreme with the integration of authentic plant stems on the canvas. The harmony between the elements is created by recalling the gray and blue colors of earth, sky and vegetation. The eternal cycle of nature is revealed.
About the author
Yuri Kuper (born 1940)
Yuri Kuper’s work is profoundly linked to time, the passage of time and the marks it leaves on things. He is a member of the Mémoires group, a group of artists formed in the late 1990s. His objects, and the space in which he places them, are weathered, stained and eroded in shades of rusty ochre or ashen black-gray. In them is concentrated the memory of the past, of their lives. Kuper captures the soul of things with great delicacy and sensitivity.
