In "Flashlight." (2005), August Walla transforms an everyday object into a symbolic totem. Using bold lines and saturated colours, he renders the flashlight in a vertical format—flanked by tree-like symbols and a vivid red background. The word “WALLA” appears prominently on the right, integrating language and image in Walla’s characteristic way.
The drawing radiates with energetic form and personal mythology, echoing Walla’s lifelong practice of reimagining the world through his own visual system. His use of coloured pencil emphasises the structure’s graphic geometry, while the presence of symbolic elements suggests deeper layers of meaning—possibly spiritual, possibly autobiographical.
A compelling example of August Walla’s object-focused works, "Flashlight." blends formal clarity with the rich, encoded language that defines his legacy. An ideal acquisition for Art Brut collectors seeking rare, smaller-format drawings with strong presence and historical significance.
