Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a cylindrical structure made of bricks with two red, ghostly faces on the sides. The overall composition is dominated by the contrasting dark and red tones, creating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere. The use of repetitive, geometric shapes and the prominent placement of the haunting faces suggest a symbolic or conceptual approach to the subject matter. This contemporary piece likely explores themes of mortality, the afterlife, or the duality of human nature through its striking visual language and minimalist aesthetic. ...

Christian Quin Newell's work, which includes paintings, drawings, and miniatures, features coded narratives that reflect on the world around him. His practice blends his studies of mysticism, psychology and art history, and employs a unique iconography of symbols, archetypal images, historical characters, and multi-layered plots. He uses underpainting techniques and palettes from the Venetian Renaissance, as well as natural semi-precious pigments such as cinnabar and malachite, which are found in Indian miniature painting. With a mixed Jamaican and Italian heritage, he creates imagined worlds reminiscent of Metaphysical Painting, an early 20th-century Italian art movement, filled with enigmatic objects, where principles of time and space are distorted, featuring hybrid figures from a possible mythic past or imagined future. It is difficult for the viewer to place the scenes within a recognisable context, giving the impression that these images exist somewhere in the vastness of the universe. ...
