This woodcut by Paul Gauguin, titled 'The Universe Is Created', showcases the artist's interest in non-Western cultures and mythology. The print features simplified figures and a stark black-and-white contrast, creating a dramatic and symbolic representation of creation.
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was a French Post-Impressionist artist known for his experimental use of colour and Synthetist style. His work moved away from Impressionism, towards a more decorative and symbolic approach. Gauguin spent time in French Polynesia, and his experiences there greatly influenced his art. He sought to capture the essence of the culture and spirituality of the islands. 'The Universe Is Created' exemplifies Gauguin's interest in non-Western cultures and mythology. The woodcut depicts a scene populated with figures and motifs that evoke a sense of primal creation. The composition is dense, with forms overlapping and intertwining, creating a complex visual field. The figures are rendered in a simplified, almost abstracted manner, reflecting Gauguin's move away from naturalistic representation. The stark contrast between black and white adds to the dramatic effect, emphasising the symbolic nature of the subject matter. The overall impression is one of mystery and the power of creation.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
