Hand

2004

A fleshy, distorted hand dominates the canvas in Dana Schutz's characteristically visceral and fragmented style. The form is rendered in thick, energetic brushstrokes that simultaneously build and deconstruct the familiar anatomy, creating a sense of both recognition and unease. Schutz's bold, gestural application of oil paint transforms the mundane subject into something raw and psychologically charged.

Medium
oil on canvas
