About this work

Overview

Untitled, a 2022 drawing by Santiago Yahuarcani, is a mixed-media work on pieced llanchama bark, characterized by a vibrant, densely populated composition.

Subject & Meaning

The work depicts a kaleidoscopic scene of animals, humans, and fantastical creatures amidst a textual backdrop of Spanish and local language words. A central tree with a skyward-ladder dominates, suggesting narrative depth, though the overall meaning remains open to interpretation.

Technique & Style

Yahuarcani employed PVA on stitched, pieced llanchama bark, combining glue and paint to achieve a textured, quasi-quilted appearance. The style blends vibrant colors (notably reds, blues, and earth tones) with a dynamic, busy arrangement.

History & Provenance

Created in 2022, the work is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
