Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a colossal, ethereal figure reclining against a vast, desert-like landscape. The colors are muted, with warm hues of beige and ochre dominating the composition, while the figure itself appears to be shrouded in a soft, ethereal light. The overall impression is one of contemplation and introspection, with the massive scale of the figure suggesting themes of the human condition and our place in the natural world. The artist's intention may be to evoke a sense of mystery and wonder, inviting the viewer to ponder the deeper meaning behind this enigmatic, larger-than-life vision. ...

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 ...
