Untitled is a 1992 oil by Juan Sanchez, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This collage mixes old-style religious paintings with bold, swirling colors. Four copies of a robed figure with a glowing chest appear in the corners, framed by golden halos. In the center, a black-and-white photo of a man in a suit is surrounded by red borders and bright, messy paint spirals. The background looks like it’s been scraped and rebuilt, with clashing textures and colors. The photo in the middle is the only real-life image here—everything else is painted or cut up. The artist seems to be playing with sacred images and mixing them with modern, chaotic energy. Want to see more work like this? Check out Juan Sánchez.
