Etrog Hand

Description

In Linked Hand, Sorel Etrog transforms the human hand into a powerful emblem of interconnection and tension. Rendered in earthy reds and deep black, the composition presents a stylized hand with interlocking, chain-like fingers—an evocative motif the artist often used to explore the boundaries between freedom and restraint, body and mechanism.

Bold yet intricately textured, the image is framed by a jagged, almost electric border of energetic marks, lending it a charged, iconic presence. The interplay of volume and line recalls Etrog’s sculptural work, while the hand—detached from any body yet brimming with force—functions as both a universal symbol and a deeply personal metaphor.

A master of modern existential symbolism, Etrog’s prints, like his sculptures, probe the tension between strength and vulnerability, wholeness and fragmentation. His work has been featured in major international collections, including MoMA, the Guggenheim, and the Art Gallery of Ontario.
