This unique painting by Dutch artist Jan Verburg (born in 1943) is an impressive still life from 1994 (30 years ago). The work has a remarkable size of 240 cm wide, 84 cm high and a depth of 5.5 cm, and shows a life-size representation of rhubarb, which makes it a special, striking and colorful piece.
The whole thing is painted on wood, which makes it extra special. Everything about it is original, including the embedded frame (made of hard wood).
Verburg is known for his ability to take the everyday out of its context and capture it in a monumental way. This painting is a beautiful example of that technique, related to the pop art movement, in which everyday objects are enlarged and elevated to art. The enlargement of the rhubarb gives the work a powerful appearance and makes it a real eye-catcher in any interior.
A beautiful piece for both art collectors and contemporary art lovers.
