About this artwork
'Assumption' is a small artwork, 13cm x 13cm, in gilded low relief on an oak panel.
The title derives from an interest in early Italian art and refers to historical paintings of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, although the subject here is not necessarily religious. The female figure surrenders herself to a state of paradise, her body tense and strained backwards while gently supported and lifted by the slightly decentred sphere, like a bubble… floating upwards. The tooled background seems to effervesce around the figure, receiving and absorbing it.
Three different treatments of gold leaf have been used to create the image - matte gold with a bright sheen on the figure, gold burnished to a dark, high gloss on the sphere and glittering, tooled gold for the background.
The picture is signed and dated on the reverse and is ready to hang. It could also be displayed framed - see the photograph in a white box frame, as an example (please ask Singulart for framing).

« I seek to rekindle in contemporary viewers a sense of wonder, awe and tenderness in relation to the world around them. »
Lara Broecke's passion for early Italian art was born while living in Florence. She currently lives in France and paints using early Italian techniques - gold leaf and egg tempera paint, made by hand-grinding pigments in egg yolk, on wooden panels coated with gesso. She marries a medieval sensibility with contemporary compositions, creates rich representations of the natural world and man's relationship to it.
