Untitled (Lens Painting) 2007

Sigmar Polke's 2007 "Untitled (Lens Painting)" is a prime example of the German artist's innovative approach to painting. This mixed media work features a vibrant, layered composition where a central white shape, resembling a lens, sits atop a patterned background. The artist’s signature "lens painting" technique, involves the use of a lens to project images onto the canvas, resulting in a unique and dynamic interplay of color, texture, and form. Polke's work is characterized by its playful experimentation, blending abstract and figurative elements to create a complex and intriguing visual experience.
