About this artwork
This untitled work by Thomas Riesner is made with ink and is like a rapid burst of emotion on paper. The ink is so immediate, it captures thoughts almost before they're fully formed. Look at how Riesner uses these vibrant blues and stark blacks with touches of red, like a quick sketch in a notebook, a study of creatures, maybe spirits, caught in a moment. The lines aren't fussy, they’re raw. There is a web of blue at the center, tying the figures together or trapping them in a shared experience. There’s a raw energy, almost like outsider art, reminiscent of artists like Madge Gill, who channeled intense visions through repetitive, intricate drawings. Riesner isn't trying to hide anything, the process is right there on the surface, immediate and unrestrained. Ultimately, it's a piece that reminds us that art doesn't always need to be polished, it can be raw, it can be urgent, and deeply felt.
