Lithograph, on wove paper - Signed with initials and numbered in pencil, published by Camden Arts Centre, London // Snared, a lithograph by Kara Walker from 2013, portrays a powerful silhouette in her distinctive cut-out style. Set against a black background, a white figure, bent and entangled, struggles within the branches of a bare, twisted tree. The stark contrast emphasizes themes of entrapment and resistance, capturing an evocative tension within the composition. Walker’s work often addresses complex historical and social issues, particularly those related to race and identity, and Snared continues this exploration by symbolically representing struggle and resilience. The piece, signed and numbered by the artist, measures 27.9 x 21.6 cm.
