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. ...

Artist
Cathrin Hoffmann
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. Hoffmann’s work distinctly dismisses such dualist ideas and sets a new basis for futuristic, diverse body types. ...
