Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a minimalistic, sculptural composition in shades of brown. The central element is a simplified human figure sitting atop a smooth, curved surface that resembles a pouch or bag. The figure's pose is contemplative, with its knees drawn up and arms resting on them. The overall sculptural form is characterized by organic, flowing lines and a sense of weightiness, suggesting a meditative or introspective mood. The artist's use of monochromatic tones and the clean, unadorned aesthetic suggest a focus on form, balance, and the exploration of the human figure in a contemplative state. ...

Artist

Calvin Marcus

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 ...
