Untitled is a 2004 graphite by Steve DiBenedetto, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a cracked ceiling with peeling paint and exposed wires. In the center, a blurry, ghostly face floats upside-down, half-hidden by the damage. The colors are mostly browns, yellows, and grays, with some faint blue and white in the face. The face seems trapped under the broken ceiling, as if it’s trying to escape. The artist used tiny pencil strokes to build up the texture of the peeling paint and wires. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines like these.
Steve DiBenedetto (b. 1958) was an American artist, born in The Bronx.
