About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 2000 drawing by Kevin Appel, created with synthetic polymer paint on paper. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing features a series of overlapping, geometric shapes, primarily red-orange boxes, arranged in a row. The forms are unevenly stacked, with some tilted or truncated at the edges, creating a sense of visual tension.

Technique & Style

The artist employed precise, thin lines to define the shapes, achieving a clean and sharp appearance. The use of flat, smooth colors, gradating from bright pink to deep red, contributes to a graphic, almost sketch-like quality, devoid of visible texture or brushwork.
