The artwork titled “UN,” created by Wilhelm Sasnal in 2015, falls within the movements of New European Painting and Pop Art. Categorized as figurative art, this piece reflects Sasnal’s unique artistic vision and thematic focus.
In the artwork, a prominent blue background serves as the canvas for the central motif, the emblem of the United Nations. The emblem, depicting a world map flanked by olive branches, is rendered in stark white against the vivid blue, symbolizing global unity and peace. The insignia is framed by a rectangular, almost screen-like shape, suggesting a modern, possibly media-related context. The surrounding background is dark yet subtly shaded, with hints of white spots or light reflections, adding to the depth and dimensionality of the piece. This composition invokes a sense of global awareness and the broad reach of international organizations, fitting within both the New European Painting and Pop Art traditions.
