The composition features fragmented human figures rendered in dynamic, painterly strokes, interwoven with graphic marks, abstract symbols, and earthy, saturated tones. A prominent canopic-inspired vessel anchors the scene, suggesting themes of ritual, memory, and the human form as both physical and symbolic presence. The work reflects Lederle’s interest in mythic references and emotional intensity, characteristic of late 20th-century figurative abstraction. A compelling and visually charged piece that captures movement, narrative, and raw expression. From a private collection. Dimensions: 84"h x 66"w x 1.25"d (stretched, unframed). In very good condition.
