Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork features a visually striking design composed of overlapping, textured black shapes that resemble tire treads or patterns. The predominant colors are black and red, with the red text and stamps adding a striking contrast. The overall composition is dense and layered, creating a sense of visual depth and complexity. The subject matter seems to depict various pricing information and legal disclaimers, suggesting an industrial or commercial context. The distinctive style and the juxtaposition of graphic design elements with the organic, tire-like patterns create a unique, contemporary aesthetic that reflects the artist's innovative approach to combining functional and artistic elements. ...

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. ...
