Fortællingen om den blinde, der fik sit syn igen og blev sort 1822 - 1869

This print, "The Story of the Blind Who Regained His Sight and Became Black," was created by Aron fra Kangeq, though the date is unknown. What strikes you first is the stark contrast created by the black ink on the white paper. The composition is divided into distinct zones: a figure looms large on the right, a child is nestled within the shelter, and horizontal lines give us a sense of the landscape. The texture is created through dense, repetitive marks, giving the impression of fur and rough terrain. The overall structure, however, is less about realism and more about the relationship between these elements and the story they tell. Aron's work can be viewed as a visual language. Here, the simplification of form, the reduction to essential lines, challenges conventional narrative and representation. It invites us to see beyond the literal, to interpret the coded meanings embedded in the artwork's very structure.
