About this artwork
Two large trees stood facing each other across open grassland at Rietvlei Dam, south of Pretoria. A flat, ordinary winter morning — pale sky, dry grass, nothing dramatic. At their base, an old fallen branch lay half-buried in the ground.
Then I folded it.
The two trees became four — and suddenly they were in confrontation. The space between them became charged. The fallen branch at the base transformed into something dark and creature-like, crouching… low. What had been an unremarkable scene became a standoff between forces I hadn't put there.
This is what Forms Beneath is about. Not invention. Discovery. The forms were always there — hidden, as if deliberately, for the reward of a different kind of looking.
Printed as a limited edition fine art giclée on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta 315gsm.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Ivan Muller is a South African photographer with over 40 years of experience, formally trained at Tshwane University of Technology and recognized with the Ilford Prize for photography. He employs a minimal, observational technique by mirroring natural forms - such as trees and rock faces - along a vertical axis, producing painterly, fine art giclée prints that straddle documentary realism and psychological depth. His artworks evoke a sense of wonder and revelation, inviting viewers to discover hidden symmetries and deeper realities beneath the ordinary surface of the natural world.
