Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a playful and abstract composition of soft, organic shapes and pastel hues. The prominent elements are oversized, plump forms in various shades of pink, yellow, and mint green, creating a visually appealing and tactile display. The overall composition appears to be a whimsical interpretation of the human body, with the shapes suggesting different body parts or forms. The artist's distinctive technique employs soft, pliable materials, resulting in a sculptural piece that invites the viewer to engage with its unique textures and visual qualities. The work's title, "Esat Val Dargent," may provide insight into the artist's intention or the contextual significance of the piece. ...

Benoît Piéron
B.1983, French

Benoît Piéron (b. Ivry-sur-Seine, 1983) was born with meningitis, and treated for leukaemia as a kid. In the 1970s and 1980s, 4,689 people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders were infected with HIV and hepatitis viruses through the use of contaminated clotting factors – Piéron was one of these people, and whilst he did not become seropositive, his body became more political. Four years ago, he returned to the hospital with a cancer. Upon reliving his childhood trauma, he realised that his works are intimately linked to his survival of HIV/AIDS. Through his practice, the guilt he experiences as one of a few survivors is transformed into something generative – a compostable energy that through practices of care and attention renews material detritus into forms that carry the voices, secretions and powers of others. When his last cancer went into remission, he began assembling hospital-reformed sheets, with the help of a phenomenologist friend, materialised into toys, beach mats, flags, gymnastics ribbons, floor lamps and armchairs. The colours are softened by the intensive washing the sheets were subjected to. In spite of this hygienic treatment, "clean stains", the indelible traces of previous uses remain. Piéron seeks to produce alternative expressions of the disease, instead exploring it as a site of potential. Far from the romantic heroism of the usual metaphors of illness, Piéron places himself in a grey and joyful zone. ...
