Trees

A gnarled, heavily textured tree dominates the composition, its twisted branches reaching skyward against a luminous, striated sky. The trunk and limbs are rendered with bold, incisive lines characteristic of linocut technique, creating a dramatic interplay of black and white. The foreground suggests grounded earth, whilst the background conveys atmosphere through parallel hatching. Created in 1979, this work exemplifies Boonzaier’s continued engagement with landscape subjects through printmaking, a medium that demands decisive mark-making.
