Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a surreal and dreamlike landscape, with two pigs or pig-like creatures as the central focus. The colors are muted, ranging from deep browns and oranges to a gloomy, moody sky. The pigs appear to be interacting with each other, almost as if in a dance or gentle embrace. The overall composition is balanced and visually striking, with a sense of mystery and subtle symbolism. The style suggests a combination of realism and imagination, blending the familiar with the fantastical. This piece likely explores themes of nature, relationships, and the human experience through an unconventional, allegorical lens. ...

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 ...
