Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a solitary figure standing in a minimalist, white-walled space. The composition is striking, with the person's dark silhouette contrasting sharply against the plain background. The focal point is a small, abstract red sculpture affixed to the wall, drawing the viewer's attention. The artwork seems to explore themes of isolation, contemplation, and the relationship between the human form and its surrounding environment. The artist's intention may be to provoke introspection and encourage the viewer to consider their own place within a sparse, almost clinical setting. ...

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 ...
