These latest works simultaneously feature figurative elements that are ostensibly recognizable--hands, heads, feet--combined with abstract passages that serve to restructure order and dimensionality within the painting. This effect is reinforced by a deliberate illogicality; representational aspects of body parts are fragmented and disembodied, elusive and transitory, unbound by any particular viewpoint or frame of reference. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eRiding the Image\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e surveys this development in Plessen’s art.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1906072663\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"o8yb5a-l6zpr4-f7p30s-fr7zxe\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1906072663\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"6rfpva-h7tpl3-c0x6ny-uy5bf2\" data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1906072663\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"t4flus-t1d19b-z001dp-bl975f\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-6\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"djtm9z-yw4bgw-r80xk8-7pugt6\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstanceY-AC2yZjBKLhFBXSsb6r9A\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_5\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Familiar Trees","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51928151228702,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0308\/9956\/8776\/files\/IMG_9269.jpg?v=1780694766","url":"https:\/\/familiartrees.com\/products\/magnus-plessen-riding-the-image-edited-by-honey-luard-with-text-by-katy-siegel","provider":"Familiar Trees","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
