AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Max Uhlig's monotype shows an abstract face that feels both powerful and vulnerable. Because it is a monotype, this work exists only once—a unique moment in which gesture, material, and concentration come together. That singularity strengthens the intensity of the image: what is captured here cannot be repeated.
The face is not developed in detail, but built up from lines, patches, and tensions. Uhlig's characteristic handwriting—energetic, rhythmic, and investigative—turns the portrait into an experience, not a likeness. It seems as if the face appears and dissolves at the same time, caught between form and movement.
It is precisely in this abstraction that closeness arises. The viewer is invited to look longer and search for meaning in the layering of the surface. This monotype shows how Uhlig, with minimal means, achieves maximum expressive power: raw, direct, and irrevocably unique.
