TROPICAL CHINESE

This art print after the Hundertwasser's art print "TROPICAL CHINESE" (oeuvre 887G) is a premium 8-colour offset print on 300 g/sqm matt coated illustration printing paper. Glitter blue and highly refractive silver glossy-foils are embossed in several finishing steps. Three specialized companies in the area around Stuttgart are involved in this complicated manufacturing process.

Hundertwasser comment about the work:

"One time I was riding my bicycle over a bridge in Santa Marina, near Venice. Some cyclists came from the opposite direction, wearing reflecting glasses. That made a big impression on me. If these glasses had had a slit in the middle, through which the eyes would look, the result would be beings something like insects. The living thing in my painting is wearing a kind of tropical helmet. Its costume is architectural, i. e., it is composed of parcels, like dwelling units.";
