Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This intriguing contemporary artwork features a rustic, weathered chair adorned with a natural floral arrangement. The muted color palette of greys, browns, and greens creates a sense of decay and impermanence, while the lush, wild greenery and delicate flowers offer a contrast of life and growth. The composition juxtaposes the rigid, functional chair with the organic, sculptural vegetation, suggesting a commentary on the relationship between nature and human-made elements. The artist's use of found objects and natural materials, combined with the artwork's evocative symbolism, invite the viewer to contemplate themes of transience, regeneration, and the interplay between the natural and artificial realms. ...
Rejecting any hierarchy between the human and the non-human, the visible and the non-visible, the artist explores in a continuous flow of metamorphoses the macro and microscopic relationships we have with our environment. The artist calls our attention to the fragility of the ecosystem of which we are a part, highlighting the importance of an ecological and holistic mindframe for the continuation of human life.

Established in Paris since 2010, mor charpentier represents both emerging and well-established artists whose conceptual practices are anchored in social realities, history and the politics of contrasting geographic regions. By promoting international practices, the gallery aims to broaden the knowledge of crucial debates of the present.

Equal gender representation and diversity is also part of the gallery goals, with half of the represented artists being women. In 2021 mor charpentier opened a second exhibition space in Bogotá.

It consolidated a long-term bond with the Latin American art scene and the international projection of the gallery. ...
