Untitled's aseptic perfection is a result of omission. Made up of conjoining flat planes, the image has a model-like effect. Flawless sky and pristine mechanics allude to precision assemblage: removed of all gritty detail, this tableau has been rendered ideal. The expanse of life-like drifting snow sets the scene in the surreal: helplessly remote, his train exists more as a concept than an actuality.

Magnifying the banal, Dirk Skreber triggers feelings of anxiety through a sense of pre-determination. Taking advantage of the viewer's conditioning to associate amplified images with historical significance, he paints his yellow train as a toy in a grand master plan designed by the collective conscience.
