Jungle II

Rivers of green seem to pour and melt through this scene, as if the forest itself has turned to liquid. Ines Brinkschmidt builds up these forms using a flowing, poured-paint technique, letting the colors run and pool into shapes that suggest tree trunks, roots, and dripping foliage without ever settling into anything you can name for certain. The glossy highlights along the edges make the whole thing look wet, like something caught mid-drip.

The title tells us this is a jungle, and once you know that, the vertical shapes read as towering plants crowding together in dense shadow. The darkness pressing in from the top and sides pushes all the light and life down toward the glowing floor, where the brightest greens gather. It is an abstract painting that keeps one foot in the recognizable world, playing with that moment where you are not quite sure if you are looking at real plants or just paint behaving like water. That tension between control and letting the paint do its own thing is what holds your attention here.
