Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a striking composition of a gardening tool. The prominent elements are a curved wooden handle in a warm brown tone and a green rubber grip, contrasting with the sleek black metal prongs. The overall shape and form create a playful, surreal effect, blending the utility of a garden tool with a more abstract, sculptural quality. The minimalist, monochromatic palette and clean lines suggest a focus on the inherent aesthetics of the object, inviting the viewer to contemplate the intersection of form and function in everyday tools. This work likely explores themes of repurposing, transformation, and the artistic potential within the mundane. ...

Amalia Pica
B.1978, Argentinian

Amalia Pica’s practice, which includes sculpture, performance, installation, drawing and video, explores human communication, its failures and intimacy. Human modes of interaction, such as the desire to be understood and accepted, are central to her work. Pica uses found objects, like hair brushes, wine bottles and confetti, verbal and non-verbal linguistic tools, like texts and venn diagrams, out-dated means of communication, like shutter telegraphs and slide projectors. Her live performances are audience-driven, creating situations of encounters, awkward and real. Having been born during the 'Dirty War' in Argentina, Pica’s works further consider the issue of state control, history, representation and systems of bureaucracy. In her performances, she explores the ways civic participation can become a mode of resistance to political oppression across time and cultures. ...
