Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a simple yet striking composition. The canvas is entirely covered in a deep, saturated shade of purple, with a rectangular black shape prominently displayed at the center.

B.1957, American

Working at the intersection of painting, photography and sculpture, Carrie Yamaoka explores the notions of materiality, surface and the role of chance in art-making.

The complex relationship between a conscious decision as opposed to an accident, explored in Yamaoka’s chemical experiments, inspires questions about subjectivity, authorship and perception. The reflective, shiny surfaces of her works, that range from small to human-size, contrast with their eerie depth of colour and abstraction. The artist’s work challenges the stability of human perception, embracing error and defect, uncertainty and chance. Yamaoka is also a founding member of queer art collective fierce pussy.
