The Lidless Eye (for Parkett no. 99) 

"The Lidless Eye (for Parkett no. 99)" is a collage by Romanian artist Adrian Ghenie. It is created with a fragmented approach, using pieces of different images to create a unique and unsettling portrait. The work appears to be a reinterpretation of a self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh, recognizable by the swirling blue background and the intense gaze of the subject. Ghenie's distinct style incorporates elements of surrealism, employing disjointed imagery and a sense of fragmented reality. This artwork is a prime example of Ghenie’s practice, where he combines elements of figurative and abstract art, highlighting themes of identity, memory, and the complexities of human perception.
