Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a bold, abstract portrait with vibrant colors and dynamic shapes. The central figure is composed of overlapping, curving forms in ...

shades of red, pink, and orange, creating a striking and emotive expression. The composition emphasizes the sculptural quality of the subject, with the features distorted and fragmented into an almost surreal, mask-like appearance. The artist's use of bold colors, exaggerated forms, and an enigmatic, psychological tone suggests a distinctive, Expressionist-inspired style. This work likely reflects the artist's examination of the human experience and their unique perspective on the complexities of the human psyche.

Cathrin Hoffmann
B.1984, German

In her paintings, sculptures and installations, Cathrin Hoffmann reimagines, remodels, and recycles various corporealities to explore and question what being human means in the future post-digital age. The distorted figures, whose bodies amass both sharp-edged and curvy forms, defy standardized and stereotypical ideas of the human physique, particularly circulated by the media. Although Hoffmann predominantly works with feminine shapes, she does not draw a dividing line between male and female, human and animal, animal-human and machine, natural and artificial. Her aesthetic operates in an equivocal realm, in which these kinds of dualisms are non-existent.
