Offset lithograph -Unsigned and unnumbered // Ai Weiwei's Odyssey (2017) is a powerful lithograph that explores themes of migration, displacement, and conflict. The work is structured as a series of horizontal panels, each depicting scenes of war, refugees, and the struggle for survival, reminiscent of ancient friezes or narrative tapestries. The black and white palette enhances the starkness and gravity of the subject matter, while the intricate, almost illustrative style recalls classical and historical art forms, blending them with contemporary social commentary. Ai Weiwei, known for his activism and human rights advocacy, uses this piece to comment on the global refugee crisis, visually documenting the cycles of violence and migration that define modern history. The composition compels viewers to reflect on the ongoing plight of displaced individuals and the broader implications of political and social upheaval.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
