Gandalf the Grey

On request

Ralph D. Woop

2019

A fantasy portrait with a long beard and a strong vertical presence. The burning technique suits the archaic, narrative effect especially well. The warmth of the wood and the depth of the pyrography give the motif a physical, almost relief-like effect. The figure appears not merely as a motif but as the carrier of a story that keeps working within the material.
