Description from the seller
“Murdered XXL” – Triptych by Oliver Plehn (1970, Germany)
Impactful, uncomfortable and deeply moving, “Murdered XXL” is a triptych that confronts the viewer with the fragility of life and the brutality of history. The work brings together three portraits of Jewish women captured originally by the Führer’s personal photographer, shortly before they were murdered. Their gazes, frozen in time, become here a powerful act of memory.
Executed in oil on canvas, each panel measures 60 x 50 cm, forming a total composition of 150 x 60 cm. Oliver Plehn’s brushwork — a German artist born in 1970 and based in Madrid — combines realism with emotional distortion, giving the faces a practically spectral presence that transcends mere figuration.
The contrast between the apparent serenity of the portraits and the tragic fate of the depicted women generates a tension that grips the viewer. Plehn not only paints faces: he reconstructs silenced histories, restoring identity and humanity to those who were reduced to numbers.
This work is not only an artistic object, but also a visually powerful testimony with strong symbolic load. Ideal for collectors seeking pieces with historical depth, conceptual strength, and a contemporary, engaged discourse.
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 3 x (60 x 50 cm) – total 150 x 60 cm
Artist: Oliver Plehn (Germany, 1970), based in Madrid
A unique piece that invites looking, remembering and reflecting. Hand-signed. Shipped rolled in a tube.
