Rose & Sand 1958

Christo Coetzee's 1958 abstract painting "Rose & Sand" showcases the artist's signature style of incorporating mixed media and textured surfaces to create a sense of depth and movement. The piece is dominated by a sandy beige background, with streaks of white and pink, and a cluster of dark shapes that evoke the image of a rose. Coetzee, known for his exploration of South African landscapes, uses layering and layering of materials to create an organic and dynamic composition, hinting at the interplay between nature and human intervention.
