The Garden
Ernst's dense jungle landscape created through frottage and grattage techniques suggests primordial nature and unconscious depths. The overgrown vegetation and hidden forms evoke psychological wilderness. The work explores nature, the unconscious, primitivism, and the origins of life. Ernst's invented techniques access automatic creation and dream imagery. The painting bridges surrealism and abstraction.
