Christian Lemmerz2016
Körper (III)
Sold
Chalk on blackboard paint
205 x 166 cm.
Körper (III) is a dynamic chalk-on-blackboard-paint drawing in which Christian Lemmerz lets the figure dissolve into pure motion. The white chalk lines scratch, swirl, and collide across a dark ground, creating a ghostlike anatomy caught between emergence and disappearance. The figure seems suspended in a violent, ephemeral moment fragmented, shifting, almost untethered from gravity. The work carries Lemmerz’s signature tension between corporeality and dissolution, echoing themes of suffering, impermanence, and transcendence. Despite its raw execution, the drawing possesses an almost cinematic sense of movement, as if the body is flickering into being.
