Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking contemporary artwork features a captivating contrast of bold colors and dynamic shapes. The dominant visual elements are the large, gestural white shapes resembling bird wings or hands against a vibrant, abstract background of rich reds, browns, and yellows. The overall composition creates a sense of movement and energy, further enhanced by the bold, expressive brushstrokes. The subject matter suggests a symbolic representation of flight, freedom, or the human experience. The artist's distinctive style and technique, combining abstract expressionism and figurative elements, convey a powerful, emotive message about the human condition. This work reflects the artist's intent to explore universal themes through a unique and impactful visual language. ...

Artist

Anousha Payne

1991 , British

Spirituality and animism take centre stage in the works of Anousha Payne. Her practice intriguingly fuses moral dilemmas, magic, immateriality, and metamorphic characters. Rooted in stories carrying a rich historical legacy passed down through generations, her work evolves through personal adaptations and embellishments. The narratives Payne explores, particularly in Tamil folklore, serve as the foundation for her exploration of human interaction, communication, and the evocative power of simple gestures and expressions. Anousha Payne's artistic practice embraces both paintings and ceramics, interweaving these mediums to delve into the profound theme of the human pursuit of spirituality. Through her creative exploration, Payne questions the possibility of infusing spirituality into an object. She examines the material qualities of religious or spiritual artifacts, considering how these qualities shape our encounters and influence our experiences. Drawing inspiration from her dual Irish and Indian heritage, she weaves narratives and characters throughout her sculptures and paintings, forging her own iconography and lexicon. Anousha Payne (b. 1991 in Southampton, UK.) graduated from Camberwell College of Arts with a BFA in 2014. Her work has been exhibited across Europe, the UK and USA. Recent solo and group exhibitions include Isabella Ducrot, Laila Tara H, Anousha Payne, Super Super Markt, Berlin (2023); Material Art fair, Deli Gallery, Mexico City (2023); Potheads, Swivel Gallery, New York (2023); Stronger than language, Romero Paprock (2022); Thick mud, slowly oozing, Stellarhighway, New York (2022, solo); I take what is mine, Arusha Gallery, New York (2022); It is better to be cats than be loved, Tabula Rasa, London (2022); A Midsummer Nights Dream, Alkinois, Athens (2022); Tangled toes twisted ears, Public Gallery, London (2022), among others.
