Oil Platform
2 200,00 €
Oil Platform: ink drawing on an original nautical chart, depicting a monumental offshore structure — somewhere between technical engraving and contemporary vanitas.
Description
Original artwork, ink on nautical chart.
This nautical chart of South Africa (Durban to Tugela River area) serves as the backdrop for a meticulous depiction of an offshore oil platform. The Indian ink, applied through cross-hatching and stippling in the manner of old engravings, renders the industrial architecture with near-mechanical precision—while allowing a quiet sense of strangeness to surface.
Black smoke rises slowly, merging with the inverted coastlines of the map — as if the land itself were exhaling a fossil memory. The work stands at the boundary between technical drawing and contemporary allegory — a reminder of our dependence on fossil energy, inscribed directly onto the sea.
Each map is unique, each line irreversible.
Dimensions : 70 x 110 cm
