Wilhelm Sasnal — Concorde
Wilhelm Sasnal

Concorde

2007

Wilhelm Sasnal's "Concorde" is an oil on canvas painting that depicts the iconic supersonic passenger aircraft with characteristic directness and contemporary sensibility. The work exemplifies Sasnal's distinctive approach to figurative painting, employing bold forms and a restrained palette to capture the geometric elegance of the celebrated aircraft. As with much of Sasnal's practice, the painting balances documentary observation with painterly abstraction, transforming a recognizable historical object into a meditation on speed, progress, and visual form.
