Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This vibrant artwork features a bold, expressive depiction of a figure surrounded by a lush, colorful environment. The predominant colors of red, blue, and green create a striking visual contrast, while the gestural brushstrokes and angular shapes convey a sense of dynamism and energy. The subject, though whimsical and fantastical in nature, possesses a sense of playfulness and wonder, hinting at the artist's intention to explore themes of imagination and the human experience. ...

Artist
Calvin Marcus
B.1988, American

When people describe his paintings as “absurd”, Calvin Marcus notes that such description is produced out of the feeling that “there shouldn’t be paintings like his”. A floating coca-cola next to an elephant, gigantic nipple on a grass, a naked woman-mountain and cows stretching over the horizon, Marcus’s large paintings are extremely bold in both colour and depiction. The artist is interested in confrontation, with his audience, with an artistic persona, as well as logical parameters of painting as a medium. Stripped of unnecessary detail and drowning in the sea of colour, Marcus’s works are open spaces of unnerving meaning unconnected to one another. Born in 1988 in San Francisco and now based in LA, Marcus creates dazzling uncomfort that strikes directly at his viewer’s subjectivity. Written by Goldsmiths CCA ...
