Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a striking charcoal drawing of a pensive, brooding face with the text "ON THE RACK" prominently displayed. The composition features a stark, monochromatic palette with bold, expressive lines that convey a sense of anguish or emotional turmoil. The artist's distinctive use of the charcoal medium lends a raw, gritty quality to the piece, suggesting a powerful exploration of the human condition. The confrontational text and intense facial expression suggest the work may address themes of oppression, suffering, or social injustice, though the specific intention behind the artwork remains open to interpretation. ...

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.
