A haunting and enigmatic composition, Daniel Richter's *Schemen* layers pencil, oil, and tape on paper to create ghostly, shadowy figures that seem to emerge from and dissolve back into the surface. The mixed-media approach lends the work a raw, unstable quality, with the physicality of tape disrupting the flatness of the paper and suggesting a tension between construction and decay. Richter's characteristic blending of figuration and abstraction evokes a sense of fleeting presence, as if the forms exist on the threshold between visibility and oblivion.
