About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1967 painting by Swedish artist Ulla Wiggen, created using acrylic and sand on board. It is an abstract work that exemplifies Wiggen's experimental approach to art.
Subject & Meaning
The painting features a grid of white rectangles connected by thick lines on a sandy brown background. Some rectangles contain smaller squares with tiny dots or lines, evoking electronic circuitry or schematic diagrams, a theme present in some of Wiggen's work.
Technique & Style
Wiggen mixed sand into the paint to achieve a gritty texture, characteristic of her material experimentation. The abstract forms and lines, while suggestive of circuits or mazes, are non-representational.
