Broken Body I

Acrylic on paper
105 x 240 cm.
In Aufgebrochener Körper I (Broken Body I), Christian Lemmerz unleashes a visceral energy through fierce, gestural brushwork. The figure appears torn apart – cracked open, exposed, and fragmented before the viewer. Executed in blood and earth tones, the piece evokes pain, rupture, and metamorphosis. It hovers between figuration and abstraction, reminiscent of the long artistic tradition of the suffering body. The use of acrylic on paper heightens the sense of immediacy and fragility, amplifying the emotional and corporeal intensity of the work.

This artwork is presented here as part of a small selection. Please reach out to us for access to a showroom with all available artworks.
