Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary sculpture features a sleek, minimalist design. The visual elements include a tall, black metal pole supporting a single, cylindrical yellow lamp shade. The composition is simple and balanced, drawing attention to the interplay of the contrasting materials and shapes. The subject matter appears to be a functional lighting fixture, yet the artist has recontextualized it as a work of art. The style is modern and industrial, with the utilitarian lamp shade harmonizing with the sculptural base. This piece likely reflects the artist's intention to challenge traditional notions of form and function in design. ...

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 ...
