Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract painting features a bold, minimalist composition dominated by vibrant shades of blue, orange, and purple. The central form appears to be a distorted, fragmented human figure composed of organic, curving shapes. The overall style is characterized by a sense of fluidity and concealment, with the figure partially obscured by the surrounding geometric elements. The artist's use of bold colors, simplified shapes, and a dreamlike, surreal quality suggests an exploration of themes related to the human form, identity, and the subconscious. ...

Firmly rooted in her personal experiences, Deborah Segun’s work celebrates the diverse bodies of women through shape and color, portraiture and narrative, creating an important counter-point to both art historical and contemporary depictions of the female form. The artist articulates the language of abstraction and more specifically the visual vocabulary of cubism to narrate the stories of her subjects which seem at once powerful and vulnerable. Her canvases are populated by the figures of voluptuous black women in varied graceful poses accompanied by titles like Longing and Trauma Bonding that offer us a window into the inner workings of her protagonists. Segun ultimately explores portraiture from a place of body sensitivity, shaping narratives around the power of vulnerability as a birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity and authenticity. ...

Athens

The Breeder gallery was formed organically from The Breeder magazine due to the need of Athenian artists to promote international dialogue. Over the last 20 years The Breeder has been a pioneer in the development of the contemporary art scene in Athens. They show art that is relevant to our times and promote a select group of Greek artists on the global arena while also showing cutting edge international artists. The Breeder serves as a link that connects cultures and supports a deeper exchange. They support their community by providing an active platform for the exchange of ideas and ideals. In 2019 they introduced The Breeder Open Studio initiative, where the gallery is available to invited artists prior to their show. Working onsite the artists have the opportunity to engage with the audience in more substantial ways. Invited artists of the Breeder Open studio, include Ariana Papademetropoulos, Chioma Ebinama, Joy Labinjo, Ekene Stanley Emecheta, Victor Ubah, Barry Yusufu and Adegboyega Adesina. ...
