Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a sculptural piece composed of stacked, carved bricks that create a distorted, faceted form. The soft, beige tone of the bricks and their textured surface lend a tactile quality to the work. The irregular, fragmented shape and the slight curving of the bricks suggest a sense of movement and tension within the static composition. The artist's distinctive technique of assembling the bricks in an abstract, sculptural manner reflects a contemporary, experimental approach to the traditional medium of ceramics. This piece may explore themes of deconstructing and reconstructing form, inviting the viewer to consider the relationship between the material, structure, and perception. ...

Caroline Achaintre
B.1969, French

Primarily a textile artist, Caroline Achaintre also works with watercolour and ink on paper and ceramic sculptures alongside crafting her signature large-scale tufted wool wall hangings. Achaintre cites a number of aesthetic influences within her practice such as Animism, Expressionism, Theatricality and the Handmade. Beginning with textiles, Achaintre studied at the Kunsthochschule in Halle, before going on to study at Chelsea College of Arts and Goldsmiths, University of London. With each of these ventures, her exploration of aesthetic influences and techniques deepened as she honed her texturally rich, meticulously crafted style. Reptilian surfaces can be found etched into her sculpted works, and traditions of carnival costumes and folklore emerge in the fibres of her wall hangings. Achaintre's work is held in numerous public collections including The Centre Pompidou and Musée D’Art Moderne De Paris. ...

To avoid any narcissism the gallery will not bear a name, but instead mark of the end of a century during which the Fine Arts are exhausted of unknown practices and forms, Art: Concept was born. In 1997, the gallery joined its friends in the 13th district of Paris to be part of the adventure of the brand new rue Louise Weiss. Despite unforgettable years in this district, the move to the Marais was inevitable. Today, the gallery is located in a private passage (passage Sainte Avoye) and represents artists with whom it has been working for 25 years as well as young graduates. Trying to reflect the evolution of society, the gallery emphasises its proposals in a multi-faceted reflection on individuality and collectivity in a wide range of contexts. Like Janus, it looks both to the past and the future. Today's world is so in need of reference points that it's reassuring to invent a future, thanks to artists, as well as to compare it to the past. We invite you to ask for it, we will be at the gallery, very happy to explain it to you. ...
