Abstract painting (untitled) by Susanne Kessler, signed and dated 1997.
The work is a multi-layered mixed-media composition on paper. Lines, organic structures, and gestural forms flow into one another, creating a visual dynamic reminiscent of mental or biological cartography. The dominant colors are black, gray, ochre, red, and white – subtly used but with powerful impact.
The composition deliberately remains open and untitled, encouraging interpretation by the viewer. Kessler's artistic signature is evident in her typical combination of drawing, painting, and space.
Provenance: Acquired from the artist
