About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 2003 drawing by Chris Hanson and Hendrika Sonnenberg, comprising eight separate printed paper pieces. Executed in synthetic polymer paint and felt-tip pen, the work is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing depicts multiple hockey players in dynamic motion, conveyed through simplified forms and energetic poses. The focus lies in capturing the kinetic essence of the sport rather than detailed representation.

Technique & Style

The artists employed a contrasting color scheme: black and white for the players, set against a plain white background, with accents of bright yellow and orange for pucks and skates. This visual strategy heightens the sense of movement and isolates key elements of the action.

History & Provenance

Created in 2003, the work is held in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, indicating its recognition within the contemporary art landscape.

Context

Chris Hanson and Hendrika Sonnenberg's collaborative style often transforms simple geometric shapes into vibrant, dynamic scenes, as evident in this piece's abstraction of hockey gameplay.
