Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking contemporary artwork combines a ornate antique mirror frame with a vibrant, patterned sofa, creating a surreal and whimsical juxtaposition. The rich, earthy tones of the frame contrast with the bold, colorful upholstery, drawing the viewer's attention to the interplay between old and new. The composition is further enhanced by the inclusion of the two figures in red pants, who appear to be interacting with or supporting the sofa, adding a playful, interactive element to the piece. The overall effect is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between tradition and modernity, and the ways in which contemporary artists can recontextualize and reimagine classic forms. ...

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. ...
