Acrylic on paper // Koen Vanmechelen's Untitled (Chicken II) (1998) is an expressive and dynamic acrylic painting on paper that highlights the artist’s exploration of animal forms, particularly chickens, a recurring motif in his work. Measuring 50 x 65 cm, the artwork captures the raw energy and movement of the subject through bold, gestural brushstrokes and a vibrant yellow background. The chicken figure is loosely rendered, with streaks of black and hints of orange, creating a sense of spontaneity and life. The abstraction allows the viewer to engage with the piece on an instinctual level, emphasizing Vanmechelen’s fascination with nature and the organic form. The combination of gestural lines and the textured application of paint gives the composition a visceral quality that draws the viewer into the energy of the piece.
