Untitled 2011

"Untitled" (2011) by Adrian Ghenie is a painting that depicts a figure in a military uniform lying on a surface, seemingly lifeless, with another figure in a red armchair in the foreground. The artist’s loose brushstrokes and fragmented composition create a sense of unease and ambiguity, typical of Ghenie's work, which often deals with themes of memory, history, and the passage of time. The painting’s fragmented nature, both in its composition and the forms within it, adds to the feeling of displacement and loss, leaving the viewer to interpret the scene's narrative.
