Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features a large, single wooden panel with a striking diagonal pattern of deep red and brown hues. The composition is minimalist yet dynamic, with the intersecting lines and angular forms creating a sense of visual tension and movement. The artist has skillfully accentuated the natural grain and texture of the wood, giving the piece a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The overall aesthetic suggests a focus on materiality, form, and the interplay of light and shadow. This work likely reflects the artist's exploration of the expressive potential of simple geometric shapes and the inherent beauty of natural materials, offering a contemplative and immersive experience for the viewer. ...

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. ...
