Screenprint on a numbered page of a Mining Company, South-Africa. - Signed in red pencil // No Idea Thought Image by William Kentridge is a screen print created in 2016 that explores themes of ambiguity and negation. Printed on a lined page from a South African mining company’s ledger, the work features bold text reading “NO” alongside the words “IDEA,” “THOUGHT,” and “IMAGE.” Ink splatters punctuate the composition, evoking a sense of spontaneous action and interruption. Below, a precise timestamp adds a layer of specificity to an otherwise abstract piece, as if capturing a fleeting moment of creative block or philosophical contemplation. Signed in red pencil, this limited edition print reflects Kentridge’s engagement with memory, history, and the fragmented nature of thought.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
