Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This charcoal sketch depicts an abstracted human figure in a minimalist, expressive style. The composition focuses on the contours and forms of the body, with bold strokes and dark shading creating a sense of depth and volume. The overall style suggests a modernist, expressionistic approach, emphasizing the essential elements of the form rather than realistic details. The artist's intention may have been to explore the raw, primal aspects of the human figure through a distilled, almost sculptural rendering. ...

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. ...

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.
