Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary art piece features a minimalist, geometric composition predominantly composed of straight lines and rectangular shapes. The work utilizes a muted color palette, with the primary hues being copper, red, and blue, contrasting against the natural wood tones of the floor. The artistic style exhibits elements of industrial design, with the use of simple materials like metal pipes and wire frames, creating a sense of functionality and objectivity. The overall intention of the piece appears to be an exploration of form, space, and the interplay of sculptural elements within a gallery setting. ...

Artist

Alice Könitz

1970 , German

Alice Könitz is an artist based in Los Angeles, and is known for her conceptual sculptures and installations. Modernism had a significant impact on Alice Könitz's artistic practice, her low-tech approach to sculpture and installation has an implicit resistance to finality, as well as implicating the wider social and architectural landscape of Los Angeles. Her sculptures are compelling, bear humor and willingness to take risks. Könitz’s artwork, the LAMOA (2012), is a flexible and adaptable platform for art exhibitions, utilizing a small structure that she constructed next to her studio. This architectural structure changes form between exhibitions and consists of interlocking units that can be arranged to form different displays. Various artists are invited to present their work within the structure. Könitz’s interrogation of modes of display and forms of instituting are extended in her work Domestic Pavilion (2019), an expandable structure that hosts research and displays of edible plants and handmade tools. Her recent work is notable in its interest in self-sustainability and resistance to market-driven aesthetics. ...
