Sascha Braunig — Chalice
Sascha Braunig

Chalice

2021

A tightly cropped figure is enveloped in a sleek, form-fitting garment that contorts and molds to the body in uncanny, almost architectural ways. Braunig's precise, luminous brushwork renders the surface with an eerie smoothness, blurring the boundary between flesh, fabric, and vessel. The composition evokes both the sacred and the clinical, suggesting a body transformed into object — or an object straining toward the human.
