{"product_id":"taurus-remedios-varo","title":"Taurus - Remedios Varo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA surrealist depiction of the Taurus zodiac sign by Remedios Varo, featuring a luminous, fiery bull set against a dark, celestial background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemedios Varo created Taurus in 1962, one year before her death. This work belongs to a series of paintings dedicated to the signs of the zodiac. Varo, a Spanish artist who spent her most productive years in Mexico, utilised her signature technique of applying paint in fine, stippled layers to create a luminous, ethereal effect. The bull is rendered with a fiery, incandescent quality, its body composed of dense clusters of red and orange pigment that suggest heat or celestial energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe creature stands against a dark, atmospheric background, which provides a stark contrast to the luminosity of the figure. Small, precise white dots represent the constellation of Taurus, connecting the terrestrial animal to the cosmos. Varo often incorporated themes of alchemy, mysticism, and science in her work, and this piece is no exception. The bull appears as a bridge between the physical world and the astral plane. Her attention to texture, particularly the way the light seems to emanate from within the animal, demonstrates her technical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of her contemporaries who focused on dreamscapes or psychological states, Varo approached her subjects with a sense of order and structural curiosity. The composition is balanced, with the bull positioned centrally, its gaze directed toward the viewer. The horns, tipped with small stars, further reinforce the astrological theme. This print captures the fine detail of the original masonite surface, preserving the delicate stippling and the depth of the dark background. It is a representative example of her later period, where her interest in the intersection of mythology and the natural world became increasingly refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/the-elephants-salvador-dali\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Elephants - Salvador Dalí — Salvador Dalí\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/threatening-weather-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThreatening Weather - Rene Magritte — Rene Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remedios Varo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59113146286415,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59113154904399,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59113154937167,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Taurus_Poster_CompositorV1_1791919392575.jpg?v=1791919531","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/products\/taurus-remedios-varo","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
