Chess Board Black & White

Posted on by

In the 6th century, chess’s predecessor was called Chaturanga in India, consisting of four divisions: infantry, cavalry, elephantry, and chariotry in the military on an 8×8 board. From the 12th century on, chess travelled from Arab to Europe.

Chess was quickly adopted by the medieval kings and the European nobility, and its popularity peaked during the late medieval period. Learning chess was an essential skill for knights. Now, it is still a popular strategic board game but for everyone. It begins with the board. It is, in fact, a symbol of equality and equal opportunities.

This rectangle archival pigment print of the full black and white chess board is perfect for a modern and classic look in the home and office interiors. It is a reminder on the wall that the playing field for strategic thinking and acting starts with this magic board palette.

Fragmented Forest

Fragmentation of the forest reduces the quality and diversity of the ecosystem. Roads (white) and system borders (black) are really the main causes of the decline. Roads are for humans not for forests. They serve as carriers for leisure in, exploitation and destruction (red) of the natural habitats. Forest simply can not handle human dynamics.

Rainy Day Perspective

Today was a rainy day. I look out my window and see the city lights in the far distance, through the palette of raindrops. Where a romantic late evening view with a good glass of wine can cross the thoughts of a near future. A reflective mood.

Track & Trace

© Jack Kruf (2019) Track & Trace [fine art print]. Breda: Open end edition.

The streets of the city are full of signs to tell us how to navigate and where to find essential elements of the architecture how we build our communities, especially here about how to track and trace the gas pipeline. It is almost a peace of art.

Well, step back 1,3 meter from the wall and step 40 cm to the right. If you want to visit this part of the underground world of the city –  for reason of maintenance or development – dig here and find the gas pipeline, which connects this house to the world wide web. Smart it is. Art too.
