Study for the 2 Sisters
2000
A delicate preparatory drawing rendered in graphite and colored pencil on translucent tracing paper, this study reflects Francis Alÿs's intimate and layered approach to developing his narrative works. The use of tracing paper suggests a process of revision and overlay, echoing the artist's broader practice of repetition and subtle transformation. The work captures a quiet, contemplative quality characteristic of Alÿs's explorations of human relationships and everyday gesture.
