Overview
Untitled is a 1985 drawing by Stephen Antonakos, created with pencil on synthetic polymer sheet. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing is an abstract, non-representational work characterized by dense, layered pencil marks that create a uniform dark field. The texture is varied, with some areas appearing darker or lighter than others.
Technique & Style
The use of pencil on synthetic polymer sheet results in a richly textured surface. The heavy layering of pencil marks achieves a dense, almost three-dimensional quality, with no discernible imagery or narrative.
