Untitled 2019

Thomas Riesner's "Untitled" (2019) is a striking abstract expressionist artwork created with black, red, and blue ink on paper. The piece features a central figure rendered in gestural black lines, overlaid with a web of intersecting lines, some in red, some in blue. The figure's head is marked with a stark red splash, leaving the eyes as two black circles, adding an element of intensity and unease to the composition. The dynamic layering of lines, suggestive of both confinement and movement, creates a powerful visual language that speaks to emotions of vulnerability and entrapment.
