Mixed-Media Assemblage Painting with Found Objects

This is a multifaceted mixed-media sculpture/assemblage presented in a rectangular format, measuring approximately 3123 x 4156 pixels in digital representation. The artwork utilizes a complex layering technique, incorporating found objects encapsulated beneath or within a heavy, textured resin or encaustic-style glaze. Central to the composition is a bundle of dried, wiry botanical elements resembling a bouquet, set against an abstract background of dark, somber tones. Notable features include a large, jagged grey stone adhered to the left side and a long, smooth, dark oval object (possibly a stone or seed pod) along the bottom edge alongside what appears to be a metallic hardware piece. The background contains various embedded cut-outs, including a gold foil rectangular element at the top and a figurative silhouette of a person on the right, suggesting a collage origin. The surface is highly irregular, with ripples, bubbles, and thick impasto-like drips characteristic of heavy varnishing or resin casting. The condition appears aged, with visible dust or residue trapped within the surface layers, some abrasions to the outer wooden frame edges, and a general dark patina that obscures some of the underlying details. No maker's marks or signatures are visible on the face of the work. The style is indicative of mid-to-late 20th-century Neo-Dada or 'Combines' movement, where mundane objects are elevated to art through physical integration into a painterly field.
