Christian Lemmerz
The Infected (I)
Sold
Acrylic on paper
30 x 42 cm.
The Infected is a dark, atmospheric acrylic work in which Christian Lemmerz depicts two shadow-like human figures emerging from a dense, vertical field of black and muted gold brushstrokes. The scene radiates tension the figures stand close, yet seem isolated within their own silhouettes, as if suspended in a moment of fear, contagion, and uncertainty.
Small green marks flicker on one of the bodies, suggesting infection or transformation, while the rough, sketch-like outlines emphasize vulnerability and dissolution. Created during the early days of the pandemic, the work captures the existential unease of that moment: bodies present, but fading; humanity intact, yet threatened.
