Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork features a minimalist wooden structure with a reclined seating position and a prominent red curved element. The overall composition emphasizes clean lines, geometric shapes, and a contrast between the natural wood tones and the vibrant red accent. The piece appears to be a functional, sculptural chair or chaise lounge, exploring the intersection of art, design, and utility. The artist's intention may be to challenge traditional notions of furniture and invite the viewer to consider the aesthetic and conceptual qualities of everyday objects. ...

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. ...
