Christian Lemmerz2026

Rider

Acrylic on paper
70 x 60 cm.
In Rider, Christian Lemmerz brings horse and rider together in a raw, almost fused figure. Black, grey, and earthy brushstrokes create a dark pictorial space around the motif, while burnt orange and reddish marks emphasise the bodies and their movement. Loose contours allow anatomy and gesture to merge, giving the rider a presence that feels both monumental and unstable. The work carries a strong physical intensity, centred on movement, the body, and painterly energy.

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.
