Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork features a striking visual contrast between the black upper panel and the vibrant blue gradient below. The composition is simple yet impactful, with a clean, minimalist aesthetic. The use of bold colors and the illusion of depth created by the gradient suggest an interest in exploring the interplay of light and space. The artwork appears to be a digital print or photograph, showcasing the artist's mastery of modern media and ability to evoke a sense of atmospheric tranquility through the interplay of light and color. The overall effect is one of mystery and contemplation, inviting the viewer to ponder the nuances of the visual experience. ...

Ben Edmunds
B.1994, British

Ben Edmunds (b. 1994, Norwich, UK) creates his colour field paintings by layering mists of fabric dyes, sprayed directly onto washed canvas. Over time, the colours shift and bleed into one another to create a spectrum of gradients across the painting: erasing definite distinctions between green, blue, purple. Using only three dyes: cyan, yellow and magenta, Edmunds is particularly interested in blue as a colour that almost doesn’t exist in nature. It appears in his paintings only as an ever-changing combination of cyan and magenta, something that shifts between sky and the sea. As an open-ended colour, it represents dreaming, exploration and adventure.

In 2019, Edmunds registered his company Aspirational Equipment - a pseudo-sports brand for romantics, creating “tools for dreamers”. Under its umbrella of paintings, objects and functional garments, it questions the supposed anti-utilitarianism of painting and asks the question “What can an artwork do?” ...
