Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking black-and-white portrait features bold, geometric patterns and sharp lines that create a captivating visual effect. The subject's face is depicted using a combination of abstraction and realism, with prominent eyes and a serious expression. The overall composition is striking, with the striped shirt drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure. Based on the style and technique, this work appears to be a modern expressionist or cubist portrait, likely intended to convey a sense of psychological depth and emotional intensity. The minimalist approach and focus on form over realistic representation suggest the artist's aim to explore the essence of the human subject through a distinctive interpretive lens. ...

Artist
Billy Sullivan
B.1946, American

born in 1946 in New York, where he lives, works, and teaches. Sullivan is best known for a diaristic practice that straddles the vitality of fleeting moments and the construction of retrieved remembrance. Raised in New York City, where he attended the School of Visual Arts, Sullivan came of age in the social milieus around Andy Warhol, Max’s Kansas City, and Parisian fashion designer Kenzo, even as he absorbed such influences as Fairfield Porter’s domestic realism and Joan Mitchell’s dynamic pastels. Sullivan’s paintings, drawings, and photographs are saturated with the intimacy of the “muses” in his own life, present and past—friends, lovers, artists, writers, allies and other collaborators, both known and obscure. Noted for their loose, gestural mark-making and unexpected color combinations, his portraits and still lifes draw viewers into the atmosphere as participants rather than mere observers. ...

Kaufmann Repetto
Milan, New York City

francesca kaufmann gallery opened in January 2000. Since then, the gallery has aimed to explore a diverse range of media, with a focus on video, site specific installation, and a special attention towards the works of female artists. After ten years in its historical location, the gallery opened in a new space in October 2010, under the name kaufmann repetto, to mark the partnership between Francesca Kaufmann and Chiara Repetto. In its new location, the gallery has been able to further develop its exhibition programming through a project space dedicated predominantly to younger artists, as well as a courtyard for large scale outdoor installations, which run parallel to the gallery’s main exhibition schedule. In 2013, the gallery inaugurated a new location in Chelsea, New York, with a parallel program to the gallery’s main space in Milan. In 2019 the New York location moved to Tribeca, expanding to a 3,000 sq ft exhibition space. The inaugural exhibition at the gallery’s new space in Tribeca was a solo show by Lily van der Stokker. ...
