A striking original woodcut exploring human labour, responsibility and the structures that shape our world.

In Supervision, Sibylle Laubscher captures a moment on a construction site. A figure in a bright yellow safety jacket stands among barriers, machinery and road signs, surrounded by the visual language of modern urban life.

Bold reds, vibrant yellows and deep blues give the composition an extraordinary energy. Strong black outlines and rhythmic carved marks create movement and tension, while the figure appears thoughtful and observant amid the activity.

Part of the woodcut triptych Building a Better World, this print explores the relationship between people, work and progress. The title Supervision introduces an intriguing question: who oversees the changes we make to our surroundings, and who decides what constitutes a better world?

The composition plays with contrasts between the individual and the structures around them, between human presence and the signs, rules and machinery of contemporary society.

An original, hand-pulled woodcut, printed using traditional techniques. Each impression carries the subtle variations and distinctive textures that make handmade prints unique.

A powerful contemporary artwork for collectors who appreciate expressive printmaking, bold colour and art that encourages reflection.
