Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This monochromatic artwork features a striking juxtaposition of textures and shapes. The composition is divided into two distinct sections - the top half showcases an abstract, visually striking pattern, while the bottom half displays a simple arrangement of two eggs set against a dark background. The use of stark contrasts, between the intricate and the simplistic, creates a compelling visual tension. The artist's style is minimalist yet impactful, hinting at deeper symbolic meanings or interpretations. Overall, this conceptual piece invites the viewer to engage with the interplay of natural and industrial elements, prompting reflection on the relationship between the organic and the man-made. ...
Antonia Kuo’s practice centers around recording, image-making, and the potential of the photographic medium. Kuo creates her own intensive processes by which images and materials can be alchemically transformed. She often merges formal elements based on industrial materials and machine parts with intuitively-derived natural forms and gestures. In her unique “photochemical paintings” she utilizes light-sensitive paper and photochemistry to capture light, time and mark making, collapsing her drawing and painting practice with photographic materiality. Compound images are built up over multiple layers and remain tethered to some markers of representation, but ultimately coalesce into an interpretative field of entropic energies and phenomena. Like her photochemical works, Kuo’s sculptures serve as recordings of forms that are lost, obscured, and only partially remembered. ...
Founded in 2013 by Nicole Russo, Chapter NY is committed to supporting artists at various phases in their careers, by providing first solo shows and offering a platform for specific investigations within more established practices. By focusing on solo-presentations and working closely with each artist, Chapter NY helps realize tightly envisioned exhibitions that foster artistic exploration and growth. Russo brings over two decades of gallery experience to actualizing Chapter NY's program, drawing on her longstanding relationships to encourage ambitious presentations. The gallery started as a weekend project space before growing into a full-time operation, first representing artists including Mira Dancy, Willa Nasatir and Adam Gordon. In addition to an expanding gallery roster, Chapter NY has also provided a flexible platform for non-represented artists working across a range of media and experience, such as Keltie Ferris, Jesse Stecklow and Anicka Yi. In doing so, Chapter NY maintains its original mission to present experimental projects beyond the scope of traditional exhibitions. The program includes artists working in site-specific installation, sculpture, ceramics, video, drawing, painting, and photography. Represented artists have recently exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the New Museum, New York; Tate Britain; the Venice Biennale; and Atlanta Contemporary, Atlanta; among others. ...
