Description
Carel Weight’s pictures often depict the mysterious, supernatural and downright frightening. Here, two figures face each other on an English country lane as the undergrowth inexplicably rises from the ground: the ordinary meeting the extraordinary. A technically strong example in its original frame.
“I aim to create a world superficially close to the visual one, but a world of greater tension and drama.”
