Mark Grotjahn initially approached abstraction through his fascination with hand-painted signs; those homemade notices found in shops boasting off-kilter graphics and makeshift typefaces. In Untitled, Grotjahn replicates these aesthetics. His drawing creates a twofold illusion: capturing the tension between commodified design and intimate mark-making, and conveying the unstable texture of marker pen using coloured pencils. Sensitively rendered through layers of blended hues, Grotjahn’s Untitled transports all the poetic magic of painting in a placard-sized Prismacolor composition.
