The artwork, titled “Study for ‘Mesh Mirage'”, was created by the distinguished artist Senga Nengudi in 1977. This piece is associated with the Post-Minimalism art movement and is categorized under the genre of installation.
In the artwork, one can observe an intricately constructed figure seemingly formed with everyday materials and textiles. The figure appears to be standing against an undecorated background, emphasizing the stark contrast between the foreground and its setting. The figure is draped in what seems like a large, crinkled sheet, perhaps made from fabric or paper, giving it a voluminous and dramatic appearance. Additionally, dangling strings or cords hang prominently from the figure’s upper section, adding texture and a sense of fluidity to the composition. The monochromatic nature of the piece further accentuates the play of light and shadow, creating a compelling visual effect.
