Multiple silk screen, sand on canvas mounted on wood, in 6 sections, edition 18, signed and numbered. // Ouroboros (natural sand) by Günther Uecker is a monumental screen print that combines natural sand and silkscreen techniques, forming a large circular composition symbolizing the ancient motif of the ouroboros—a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, representing the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Created in 2018, this work is part of a limited edition of 18 and is meticulously crafted in six sections, mounted on wood. The use of sand adds a tactile, organic texture, giving the piece a unique depth and earthiness that contrasts with its minimalist form. With dimensions of 300 cm by 300 cm, Ouroboros commands space, inviting contemplation on themes of eternity and the interconnectedness of nature.

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.
