Untitled (Burnt Canvas) merges the two major themes and source of inspiration of Ariel Schlesinger. The first, a continuous metaphor for love and relationship as can be seen in his earlier pieces such as ‘L’Angoisse de la Page Blanche’, a set of two papers dancing,
at times touching each other and at times alone and ‘Me and Nathalie’, two carved sculptures made to look like bent pencils next to one another. The second, creation through destruction and more specifically through fire. The canvases are forever burning each other and at the same time holding one another, thus creating an endless dance of pain and love.
