Description
A squat black frog sits centered against a soft cream ground, its wide body rendered in bold, solid strokes with just two stark white circles for eyes and a downturned mouth suggesting perpetual displeasure. A red seal stamp in the upper left corner signals the work's Japanese artistic heritage, giving this simple composition an authentic woodblock print sensibility despite its contemporary, minimalist execution. At home in a quirky study, a gallery wall of oddball creatures, or anywhere humor meets zen calm. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
