About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 2003 drawing by Jim Shaw, held at The Museum of Modern Art. It is a mixed-media work on paper, combining felt-tip pen and ink.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing features a grid of ghostly figures, rendered in a blurry, smudged style, with dark, wavy lines suggesting hasty execution. The figures face uniformly, their details gradually fading into the surrounding white space.
Technique & Style
The artist employed a combination of felt-tip pen and ink on paper, with some areas transparentized. The use of layered lines and subtle ink stains creates a sense of depth and texture, while the overall effect is one of faded, half-remembered sketches.
