Total size 140 x 200 cm. - e/u (e?prueve unique) // Dogs (diptych) by Alison Wilding is a powerful and expressive monotype and etching created in 2005, consisting of two large panels that together measure 140 x 200 cm. This unique work (épreuve unique) explores abstract forms and contrasting colors, with deep, earthy browns, reds, and beige shapes set against a muted green background. The composition on each panel mirrors and complements the other, with bold, gestural strokes that evoke movement and a tactile quality. The irregular shapes and textured surfaces suggest organic forms or landscapes, capturing an earthy and raw energy. Printed on Hahnemuhle paper, the diptych’s unique combination of monotype and etching techniques emphasizes the artist's interest in texture, form, and abstract interpretation. Wilding’s work invites contemplation of materiality and abstraction in an intimate yet monumental scale. Show Less
