'Pavement - Red and Black Cobble-stones', - mono-print, 2006; artist Hilly van Eerten

Hilly van Eerten's Pavement - Red and Black Cobble-stones, a mono-print from 2006, captures the textured surface of urban paper in a striking, almost abstract manner. The work evokes the essence of Impressionism with its focus on light and texture, yet retains a Figurative quality by depicting the city’s cobblestone pavement. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the contrast between the vibrant reds and blacks, giving depth and vitality to the print. Overall, the piece combines contemporary printmaking techniques with a keen eye for capturing everyday urban environments.
