Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist painting features a serene, monochromatic composition in shades of blue. The canvas is filled with a smooth, uniform surface, creating a sense of visual depth and tranquility. The artist has employed a subtle gradient, transitioning from a lighter hue at the top to a slightly darker tone towards the bottom, lending a sense of atmospheric depth to the work. The overall effect is one of calm contemplation, inviting the viewer to engage with the simplicity and meditative qualities of the piece. The artist's intention seems to be to evoke a meditative state and encourage the audience to ponder the inherent beauty of the color and form. ...

Alek O.
Argentinian

In her practice Alek O. (Born in Buenos Aires, 1981. Lives and works in Milan.) blends the common notion of the readymade with craft, embroidery and other traditional art-making forms. On the verge between transformation and conservation, Alek O. strips the objects’ common visual aspects and replaces them with geometric abstraction. Reversing the perspective of design, Alek O. favours re-creation over creation and deconstruction over construction. The objects, chosen for their emotional quality, are salvaged from their original, usually domestic use: wood from a bookshelf, metal from a discarded key, wool from a sweater or a pair of gloves. Thus, the works function as metonymy for the artist, or the people who had a connection with the material. The imprint on her sculpted material of those who owned it or used it represents an important aspect of Alek O’s work as it encapsulates a series of questions/suggestions where memory, affection, nostalgia and the carefully considered loss of interpretive information converge to create an open poetic gesture. « Fundamentally, all of Alek O.’s art is an invitation to open up to observing reality and allow ourselves to be convinced that everything, be it an image, object or thought, can be renamed without losing meaning, but acquiring others ». ...
