Sin título (Paisaje con plástico y burro)
A modest found cloth serves as the ground for this intimate oil painting, in which a plastic sheet and a donkey populate a spare, quietly observed landscape. Alÿs blends the vernacular and the painterly, weaving vinyl collage into the artist's wood frame to extend the work's visual and material conversation beyond the canvas. The piece reflects his characteristic attentiveness to everyday life in urban and rural peripheries, finding poetry in the overlooked and the incidental.
