"Gnu" is a 2018 ink drawing by Brazilian artist Thiago Boecan, who was born in 1995. This minimalist work depicts a gnu in mid-leap, its silhouette rendered in shades of gray against a stark white background. The artist's use of ink washes creates a sense of movement and energy, capturing the animal's powerful stride. Boecan's simplified style evokes the spirit of traditional Japanese ink painting, emphasizing the essence of the subject with a few bold strokes.
