2000

Otto Zitko's frenetic network of looping, gestural lines covers the aluminum panel in a dense web of oilstick mark-making, characteristic of the Austrian artist's obsessive linear language. The metallic surface lends a cool, reflective quality to the work, creating a dynamic tension between the industrial support and the raw, energetic mark-making rendered in oilstick. Dating from 2000, this work exemplifies Zitko's signature approach of treating the picture plane as an all-over field consumed by continuous, restless drawn line.
