Gelitin

plasticine on wood, in 2 parts

2008

A vibrant, tactile work by the Viennese collective Gelitin, this two-part piece showcases their characteristically playful and irreverent approach to sculpture, with richly worked plasticine applied directly onto wooden supports. The malleable material retains the gestural marks and spontaneous energy of the artists' hands, creating surfaces that feel simultaneously childlike and subversive. Each part is individually signed and dated on the reverse, affirming the work's authenticity within the collective's prolific 2008 output.
