// Against Torture by Jannis Kounellis is a powerful lithograph that uses bold black forms and gestural marks to create an evocative and intense composition. The central dark shape, reminiscent of a bell or a shroud, dominates the piece, surrounded by erratic lines and splashes of black ink, suggesting movement and emotional turmoil. Kounellis, known for his association with Arte Povera, often infused his works with political and social commentary, and this piece is no exception. The abstract, almost violent strokes convey a sense of protest and resistance, aligning with the title's theme against oppression and torture. The minimal yet impactful approach invites viewers to reflect on human suffering and the weight of injustice.

What is site specific art?
Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.
