About this work
Overview
Krzysztof Wodiczko's 1990 drawing, Untitled, is a mixed-media work on paper that combines various drawing tools and techniques. It is part of the artist's Interrogative Design practice, which explores the intersection of art and technology to address social and political issues.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts three rough sketches of an arched monument, with figures or people inside two of the arches, and a small platform with a flag or pole on top of one. Annotations, including the words 'REVOLVER' and 'POMP', suggest a connection to a real landmark, potentially imbuing the work with symbolic or metaphorical meaning.
Technique & Style
The work is characterized by quick, shaky lines and a mix of media, including pencil, ballpoint pen, correction fluid, and felt-tip pen. The surrounding smudges and scribbles give the impression of a rapid, iterative process, with the artist experimenting and thinking through ideas on paper.
