Poplar plywood, Bioresin, Special cleaned earth, Acrylic paint, Matt acrylic Vanish. Signed and numbered // Leuven Landscape (Hansa Yellow 111) by Ugo Rondinone is a striking mixed-media sculpture from 2013, made from poplar plywood, bioresin, earth, and acrylic paint. The piece stands out due to its textured front, which is covered in dark, specially cleaned earth, creating a rugged, organic surface that contrasts sharply with the vibrant Hansa yellow color painted along the edges. The earthy texture evokes a sense of raw nature and tactile connection, while the bold yellow edge introduces an unexpected pop of color, bridging natural and synthetic aesthetics. This juxtaposition creates a contemplative and minimalistic work, inviting viewers to consider the relationship between nature and constructed form.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
