Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This vibrant contemporary artwork features a striking combination of bold, expressive colors and surreal, abstracted figures. The composition is divided into two panels, with the left side dominated by a contorted, blue-toned human form and the right side showcasing an enigmatic, green-hued figure. The overall aesthetic suggests a dreamlike or fantastical quality, emphasized by the dynamic, almost visceral brushstrokes and the saturated, almost fluorescent hues. The artist's distinctive style and unconventional techniques create a thought-provoking piece that invites the viewer to engage with its underlying symbolism and emotional resonance. ...

Alex Foxton

1980 , British

Alex Foxton’s painting takes traditional images of masculinity, deconstructs their archetypes and reveals their complexity and ambiguity. Alex Foxton explores the personal history and humanity of the heroes or mythical figures that inhabit our western culture, painting a new narrative in the hollow of the history known to all. The figures depicted are stretched, torn between a calm face and an expressive body, tortuous or ecstatic, underlining the tension of each character. Alex tries to get rid of the objective and dominant gaze that shapes these virile male figures to reveal an embodied vision and to let a desire for these bodies come to life. ...

Paris, Paris, Paris

The Galerie Derouillon, founded by Benjamin Derouillon, opened its doors in September 2012 at 38 rue Notre Dame de Nazareth in the Haut-Marais district, which is emerging as one of the new poles of contemporary art in Paris, with the desire to defend a young generation of French and international artists. The programme offers a singular vision of today's art in its diversity of modes of expression, with a particular emphasis on painting, sculpture and installations. The selection of artists has in common a demanding and playful work that breaks with established codes.
