The artwork, titled “Die Kontrolle” by Neo Rauch, was created in 2010. Belonging to the Neo-Pop Art and Social Realism movements, this figurative piece embodies a blend of imaginative and realistic components, characteristic of Rauch’s style.
In “Die Kontrolle,” the viewer is presented with a dynamic scene composed of an eclectic array of figures and actions. The artwork is divided into two distinct sections, the left showing an open landscape and the right enclosed by a vivid pink wall. Characters in the scene appear to be engaged in various activities, some looking at or interacting with unusual and surreal objects, contributing to an atmosphere of ambiguity and complexity. The vivid colors and fantastical elements combined with realist figures create a portrayal that is both thought-provoking and visually stimulating, inviting viewers to engage and interpret the narrative woven within the canvas.
