Wilhelm Sasnal — Concorde 2
Wilhelm Sasnal

Concorde 2

2003

A striking and minimalist depiction of the iconic supersonic aircraft, rendered in Sasnal's characteristically bold and reductive style. The painting distills the Concorde's sleek, aerodynamic form into essential shapes and tones, evoking both the romance and the obsolescence of modern technological ambition. Sasnal's approach transforms a symbol of human achievement into something quietly melancholic and contemplative.
