John Voss - Surrealist 20th Century Oil Gladiator

A striking 20th Century still life, combining Surrealism with exquisitely painted trompe-l'œil. The surrealist still life shows a Roman gladiator helmet, floating strangely in the middle of a fragmented square of canvas stretchers. The vibrant colours and unusual composition make this a truly eye catching artwork. The artist has signed and inscribed their address and signed to the reverse. On canvas.
