Richter, Daniel | Untitled G (Dick Exhibition), 2016-2017 — available on Composition Gallery

View in a Room

// Untitled G (Dick Exhibition) by Daniel Richter is a provocative 2016-2017 silkscreen print that challenges viewers with its layered, collage-like composition and its confrontational imagery. The artwork features a partially obscured figure, possibly female, set against a blurred hallway background, suggesting a space that feels both public and private. Over the figure's eyes is a swirling, abstract shape, adding an element of distortion and disorientation. The text DICK EXHIBITION boldly spans the lower part of the image, inviting viewers to question themes of identity, sexuality, and objectification. The piece’s rough, distressed texture and intense imagery reflect Richter’s exploration of subculture aesthetics and societal taboos, engaging viewers with questions about the interplay of voyeurism, exhibitionism, and personal agency.

Daniel Richter (Germany, 1962) is a contemporary artist recognized for his dynamic and colorful large-scale paintings. His work often blends abstract and figurative elements, addressing themes of history, politics, and pop culture. A leading figure in modern German art, his pieces are featured in major international museums and collections.
