Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork is a simple yet striking fabric handbag. The dominant color is a deep, earthy brown, which creates a minimalist and understated aesthetic. The overall composition is geometric, with clean lines and a curved, structured silhouette. The bag features two prominent handles, adding a functional element to the design. The material appears to be a soft, pliable fabric, likely cotton or a similar natural fiber.

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.
