Jean Tinguely
Executed on 15 May 1973.
A dynamic and layered composition by Swiss kinetic artist Jean Tinguely, this work combines biro pen, graphite, watercolour, and paper collage secured with cellotape to create a characteristically energetic and spontaneous visual language. The raw, improvisational quality of the mixed media reflects Tinguely's enduring fascination with movement, chance, and the poetic interplay between order and chaos. The inclusion of cellotape as both a practical and aesthetic element speaks to the artist's irreverent approach to materials and his blurring of the boundaries between art and process.
