Untitled is a 2007 ink by Bernd Ribbeck, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two tall, empty shapes that look like arches. They’re made of thin black lines stacked on top of each other, with soft colors behind them—pinks, blues, and yellows. The lines are uneven, like they were drawn by hand but kept overlapping. The overlapping lines create a textured look, almost like layers of shadows. This style isn’t tied to a big art movement, but it’s a way to build up shapes with repeated marks. If you like this, check out cross-hatching—it’s the technique of using lots of lines to make shadows or shapes.
Bernd Ribbeck (b. 1974) was a German artist, born in Cologne.
