Adrian Ghenie — Nevermore
Adrian Ghenie

Nevermore

2020

Adrian Ghenie's "Nevermore" is a seven part pigment print series presented in an original portfolio that explores themes of memory, loss, and literary reference through the artist's characteristic expressive gestural language. The work engages with Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem through its title while employing Ghenie's distinctive approach of layering abstraction with figuration. This portfolio piece exemplifies the Romanian artist's practice of creating complex visual narratives that oscillate between representation and painterly abstraction.
