Tänzerin
1994
A swirling, translucent figure emerges from Polke's layered application of acrylic and iridescent interference colour, evoking the dynamic movement of a dancer caught mid-gesture. The shifting optical qualities of the interference pigments create an otherworldly luminescence that transforms with the viewer's perspective, lending the composition an almost spectral, flickering energy. True to Polke's experimental approach, the work dissolves the boundary between representation and abstraction, suggesting form through chromatic sensation rather than precise definition.
