Front/Side/Back
Magnus Plessen's *Front/Side/Back* is a diptych rendered in oil on canvas that explores the fragmented and elusive nature of the human figure through the artist's characteristic reductive language. Plessen's stark, almost diagrammatic forms dissolve the body into spare, geometric shapes that feel simultaneously clinical and deeply personal, suspended against open, minimally worked fields of paint. The diptych format reinforces a sense of multiplicity and incompleteness, as if the figure can only be approximated through accumulation rather than singular, definitive representation.
