Terragraphs (with sand) on canvas mounted on. Hand-signed, numbered. Ouroboros 05 (2018) by Günther Uecker is a terragraph executed on canvas, incorporating sand to give the work both texture and symbolic resonance. The sweeping, circular form—evocative of the ouroboros, an ancient emblem of cyclicality and eternal return—appears as a gestural imprint in earthy brown, suggesting both dynamism and decay. Uecker’s signature approach to materiality is evident in the tactile quality of the terragraph, which invites the viewer to experience the image as both visual and physical presence. This editioned work is limited to 36 hand-signed and numbered pieces.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
