Early work by Ad Arma from an edition of 3 in a beautiful frame.
The artist, Ad Arma (now 71 and still working) recently wrote the following about the work:
"I still remember that etching press, a converted cast-iron wringer, and perhaps the workshop in Haaften. A former bicycle repair shop.
But around that time I also worked relatively briefly in Neerijnen in a former stable at a farm.
The figure represents Presence, 'Gestalt,' to be. To live. The feminine, the passage of life. An archaic concept. She has figured in all my work for a very long time. That little dog...
On the one hand, the dogs I've owned. The special, unconditional bond you form with such a fellow creature born as a pack animal, but also the origins as a wandering hunter from a time when the earth was still open territory, boundless, and in a natural, evolving state.
I refer to cave drawings, the traces of life, scratches, claw marks, rhythms, fossil skin and seek to stand outside of time.
Our insignificance in an environment that is Nature and infinite, for the stars, the universe, is also nature"
