Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features bold, sweeping diagonal lines in shades of deep reddish-brown, creating a dynamic and textured composition. The overall effect evokes a sense of movement and energy, with the intersecting lines guiding the viewer's gaze across the canvas. The artist's use of wood as the medium adds a natural, earthy element to the piece. The work's minimal yet powerful visual language suggests a contemplative exploration of themes like rhythm, materiality, and the interplay of light and shadow. This contemporary sculptural piece likely aims to provoke a visceral, emotive response in the viewer through its tactile and visceral qualities. ...

Divine Southgate-Smith

1995 , Togolese

British multidisciplinary artist Divine Southgate-Smith works across a wide breadth of media, incorporating installation, performance, sound, sculpture, text, film, spoken word, furniture design, and 3D rendering into her practice. Her work serves as a route through which to examine and rework representations of Black, queer, and female bodies and their experiences. In her hypothetical spaces, her subject matter is recontextualised and decontextualised, hidden and revealed, given a voice, or silenced. Southgate-Smith invites us to take the time to consider the power dynamics at play within visual media and how oppression and empowerment, and social and political standing interrelate. When approaching art production, she is not restrained by media specificity; she weaves disciplines together to provide a framework for articulating complex narratives. Southgate-Smith’s practice is heavily grounded in research, drawing inspiration from literature, archives, intersectionality, and music as her starting points. Her diverse range of media allows her to explore these themes in depth, utilising each form to add layers of meaning to her work. ...
