Original artwork description:

Tenryuji mixes Scandinavian and Japanese influences, showing a composition contrasting fluid shapes with strong linework. The fluid shapes are reminiscent of the work of Hans Arp, yet also of the fluidity of Japanese gardens when viewed from above. Tenryuji, a temple close to Kyoto, is famous for his garden. Here, the observer can experience the contrast of the natural shapes found in the garden with the geometric shapes of the temple. Similarly, this painting contrasts fluid shapes in the background with strong line work on the foreground, creating depth and tension, yet also balance.
