Anne Imhof — Beautiful Hole I
Anne Imhof

Beautiful Hole I

2014

"Beautiful Hole I" by Anne Imhof combines etching and lacquer on black Dibond to create a work that plays with surface, transparency, and spatial illusion. The artist uses the reflective properties of lacquer alongside etched mark making to generate visual complexity that shifts depending on the viewer's position and the ambient light. Imhof's choice of black Dibond as a substrate emphasizes the interplay between the material's industrial quality and the delicate technique of etching, resulting in a composition that oscillates between abstraction and representation.
