By the Root 2018

"By the Root" (2018) by Erik Thor Sandberg is a hyperrealistic painting of a female figure seated on a stool. Her body is fragmented, with multiple faces emerging from different angles. The woman's body language is tense and vulnerable, with a sense of introspection. The fragmented body and overlapping faces might be symbolic of identity and the complexities of human emotion. The painting's realism and unsettling subject matter are hallmarks of Sandberg's style, which often explores themes of the body, perception, and the human condition.
