About this work
Overview
Created in 2003, this untitled work by Sebastiaan Bremer consists of a chromogenic photograph that has been altered with retouching dyes and a gel‑ink pen. The piece is classified as a drawing and is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
Subject & Meaning
The image presents an abstracted close‑up that evokes the texture of submerged coral. Deep reds, blues and greens intermingle with shadowy tones, while a stark yellow line bisects the lower edge, offering a visual counterpoint to the surrounding darkness.
Technique & Style
Bremer applies layers of dye and ink directly onto the photographic surface, allowing the pigments to mingle with the underlying image. The resulting texture resembles organic growth, with rough, uneven forms that suggest tangled branches or roots emerging from the paper.
History & Provenance
Since its creation, the work has remained in the Museum of Modern Art’s collection, where it is displayed as an example of the artist’s practice of integrating drawing materials with photographic processes.
