Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork features a striking contrast of colors and textures. The dominant hue is a vibrant, almost neon-like pink, which creates a bold, eye-catching backdrop for the central element - a heavily textured, irregularly shaped piece of raw material, likely a type of rock or mineral. The composition is asymmetrical, with the natural form placed diagonally across the canvas, adding a sense of dynamism and energy. The artist's use of the transparent, plastic-like material as a framing device further enhances the visual interest, blurring the boundaries between the natural and the artificial. This piece appears to explore the interplay between the organic and the synthetic, inviting the viewer to consider the relationship between the natural world and human intervention. ...

Dala Nasser
Artist
Dala Nasser
B.1990, Lebanese

Dala Nasser is a material-based artist who works across various mediums including painting, performance, and film. Nasser’s work examines the intersection of human and non-human entanglement in relation to environmental, historical, and political issues, particularly those resulting from practices of extraction and colonial erasure. Her artistic process involves using materials that carry literal meaning, and her work is rooted in her personal experiences and the history of her region. In her solo exhibition “Time spent without its flow” at V.O Curations in London, she used found fabrics from her grandparents' house located in the south of Lebanon, which she coloured with natural dyes made from wildflowers that can withstand toxic soil. After dyeing the textiles, she applied charcoal rubbings from the trunks of olive trees and flintstone from neighbouring terrace walls. This repetitive process is subject to the elements, with the markings gradually being washed away. ...
