Ghenie has used oil on canvas as his preferred media, but he has also produced mixed media, collage, and sketch. His style is participatory in nature, where the viewer would experience the way the art was created. To this end, in his paintings bold strokes of palette knife is visible, revealing the textures.
In his own words, Adrian Ghenie is like a paparazzi for textures as he wants to explore and save the textures of a time period in the artwork. For instance, this process is clearly visible in the 2019 oil on canvas "The Raft," where the viewers get a tour of how the painting was painted. The viewers experience a sense of the artist's thought process when they find a closer look changes the meaning of the subject matter in a very elusive way.

In essence, Ghenie's works are sure to make viewers think and reconsider, whatever the topic is. Read Less

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
