Van Gogh - Tree Roots | Swirling Post-Impressionist Oil

Tangled mass of gnarled tree roots in earthy ochres, blues and greens with bold swirling brushstrokes creating rhythmic organic patterns against sandy ground

Painted in Auvers-sur-Oise during Van Gogh’s final weeks, this close-up study of exposed roots transforms a mundane subject into a turbulent meditation on life force and struggle. The thick impasto and interlocking forms reveal his obsessive engagement with nature’s hidden architecture.
