Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract painting features a striking contrast between the vibrant orange sun and the serene, azure-hued seascape. The bold circular form is the central focus, commanding attention against the expressive brushstrokes that suggest waves and a hazy, cloudy sky. The artist has employed a bold, minimalist style, highlighting the interplay of color, light, and the natural elements to create a contemplative and evocative work. The emphasis on the sun and its reflection on the water suggests a meditative exploration of the relationship between the celestial and the earthly, hinting at the artist's intention to capture the essence of the natural world. ...

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. ...
