manual winding wristwatch facing a digital watchMartins&Montero
Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist black-and-white photograph depicts a simple wristwatch. The composition is centered on the watch, which is the sole focal point against the neutral grey background. The watch face is clean and unadorned, while the wristband has a textured, snakeskin-like pattern, providing a subtle visual contrast. The overall style is stark and reductive, emphasizing the essential elements of the timepiece. This image may convey a sense of timelessness and the stripped-down beauty of everyday objects. The artist's intention behind this piece could be to highlight the elegance and functionality of the classic wristwatch design. ...

Artist
Charbel-Joseph H. Boutros
B.1981, Lebanese

In Charbel-joseph H. Boutros' work invisibility is charged with intimate, geographical and historical layers, finding poetic lines that extend beyond the realm of existing speculations and realities. Being born in the middle of the Lebanese war, his art is not engaged in an explicit political and historical reflection, but is more accurately haunted by the said political and historical reflection.

Brussels, São Paulo

Founded in São Paulo in 2011, Galeria Jaqueline Martins is a space for research, documentation and presentation of contemporary artistic production. It proposes collaborative curatorial strategies that foster dialogue between different generations and different cultural perspectives. One of its guiding principles is the encouragement of research-oriented conceptualist practices characterized by critical, even subversive, approaches. Since its inauguration, the gallery has developed a special program around the investigation of artistic productions carried out during the Brazilian military period – more specifically from the 1970s and 1980s. It promotes a historical revision of processes grounded on strong intellectual resistance, audacity and commitment to art and which transformed the artistic practice in the country, but nonetheless were neglected throughout the last decades. By integrating research and practice that confront the contemporary scene by means of its exhibition program, the gallery encourages the revival of the debate that conceives of artistic actions as contact zones for the exercise of aesthetic, social and political change. In 2020 the gallery opened its second exhibition space, in Brussels, aiming to expand our presence in Europe and to develop a multidisciplinary program that will foster connections between our artists and Brazilian art practices in an international context. ...
