Katharina Fritsch — Mouse
Katharina Fritsch

Mouse

A sleek, oversized mouse rendered in smooth painted polyester resin sits with quiet, monumental presence, its simplified form stripped of naturalistic detail in favor of bold, graphic intensity. Fritsch transforms the familiar rodent into an uncanny object through her signature use of uniform, saturated color, imbuing the creature with an almost totemic stillness. The work hovers between the banal and the surreal, inviting viewers to reconsider everyday subjects through a lens of psychological unease and sculptural precision.

Medium
Painted polyester resin multiple.
