Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary art piece features a bold, graphic depiction of a dictionary against a vibrant blue background. The dominant colors are yellow and black, creating a striking visual contrast. The simple, geometric shapes and text-based elements suggest a minimalist, pop art-inspired style. The work appears to be a playful commentary on the concept of language and the perceived completeness or fallibility of definitions, as conveyed by the title "Complete & Unbelievable: The Dictionary." The artist's intention likely explores the subjective nature of language and how it can both illuminate and obscure our understanding of the world. ...

Artist

Alex Da Corte

1980 , American

Da Corte is a conceptual artist, working across a range of different media including video, performance, installation, painting and sculpture. Often he unites these elements to create fantastical and vividly-coloured immersive environments that amount to Gesamtkunstwerks. His work is informed by Pop Art and Surrealism, regularly combining high- and low-brow American cultural references – from branded items found in domestic life to figures from popular culture – in order to explore and interrogate personal and cultural politics, alienation and the psychological parameters of the human experience. ...

Sadie Coles HQ

London, London, London

Sadie Coles HQ is a London-based contemporary art gallery representing around fifty international artists. The gallery opened in 1997, with an inaugural exhibition of new paintings by American painter John Currin presented in parallel with an offsite show by British artist Sarah Lucas, The Law, at St John Street. This pairing established the international breadth of the gallery's programme, which has since expanded over the past two decades. Since its inception, Sadie Coles HQ has operated from a variety of spaces; most recently mounting offsite shows in Los Angeles and Mayfair in 2020 with a significant new video installation by Martine Syms. In September 2013, Sadie Coles HQ opened its largest space at 62 Kingly Street in Soho, as well as a second space at 1 Davies Street in Mayfair designed by 6a Architects in 2015, and a third space at 8 Bury Street in St James’s in April 2021. ...
