Schwarzes Brot

Acrylic on canvas
200 x 150 cm.
Schwarzes Brot (2021) by Christian Lemmerz is a monochrome painting in dense layers of black and grey. The surface draws the viewer into a dark, meditative pull, where light and form dissolve. The work evokes existential hunger, survival, and loss. The title – “black bread” – suggests something vital and earthly, yet presented in a stark, hopeless register. This is Lemmerz at his most uncompromising and somber.

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.
