This drawing, created in 2019 and 2020 by Armin Andreas Pangerl, presents a complex layering of geometric shapes and handwritten text. The monochrome palette of black ink on paper emphasizes the stark contrasts and intricate details within the composition. The shapes of the buildings and figures, as well as the text, create a sense of frenetic energy. The overlay of architectural forms and ambiguous figures evokes a sense of spatial disorientation. Gridded lines intersect and overlap, disrupting any conventional perspective and challenging fixed meanings. The semiotic system of signs and cultural codes at play are subverted, revealing the drawing to be an exploration of inner thoughts. The juxtaposition of different scales, lines, and textual elements suggests an attempt to destabilize established categories of representation. Ultimately, Pangerl’s drawing functions as a site of ongoing interpretation, inviting viewers to question the nature of perception and knowledge.
