Anne Imhof — Untitled
Anne Imhof

Untitled

2017

A sleek, industrial surface of aluminium serves as the foundation for Imhof's application of lacquer, resulting in a work that feels at once clinical and seductive. The glossy finish creates a reflective tension between the material's cold rigidity and the luminous depth achieved through the painted layer. Rooted in Imhof's broader practice exploring control, desire, and the aesthetics of power, the work reduces its visual language to a stark, uncompromising presence.
