Untitled is a 2004 acrylic by Chéri Samba, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a person in a red space suit bending over a giant rocket engine. They’re holding two buckets—one blue, one with a lantern—and seem to be collecting water from the engine. The background is black with white stars, like outer space. The title text at the top reads about a "water problem" in space, hinting at a funny mix of science and everyday life. Check out Chéri Samba for more playful, political art like this.
