Untitled Mixed Media Assemblage on Panel

This original work of art is a complex mixed-media assemblage featuring a vibrant primary palette dominated by deep cadmium reds, earthy ochres, and bright yellows. The piece is constructed using a heavily textured impasto technique, where thick layers of paint or wax-like medium are built up over various found elements. Central to the composition is a segment of needlepoint or woven textile depicting a yellow duck with a green accent against a red background. Above this, several windows or layers reveal repetitive patterns that resemble postage stamps or small printed portraits. A noteworthy textual element is found in the lower-left corner, featuring the German words “Die Ba...acher” in a bold, black sans-serif font, suggesting the use of collage from newspaper or physical signage. The construction is raw and expressive, utilizing 'combines' aesthetics reminiscent of Neo-Dadaism. Condition-wise, the work shows intentional distressing; however, some flaking of the heavy impasto is visible along the top and bottom edges. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures on the face of the work. Based on the materials and stylistic execution, the piece likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is characterized by a deliberate 'low-art' or punk aesthetic, emphasizing tactile vulnerability and semiotic layering over traditional fine-art finish.
