Singer 2015

"Singer," of indeterminate date, by Albrecht Behmel, measures 100 by 80 centimeters. The artist, born in 1971, created this image that seems to capture the essence of a singer. Behmel uses a mosaic of colors to define the singer's silhouette, a style that moves away from traditional figuration to a more abstract representation. The choice of a singer as subject brings questions about the role of women in performance, as well as the cultural and societal expectations placed upon them. The dynamic pose and the use of vibrant colors evoke the energy of performance. The image is open to interpretation, allowing for a dialogue about identity and the narratives we construct around public figures. It resonates emotionally, inviting viewers to consider the relationship between the performer and the audience.
